Molar Playdough!
What is the best way to check your calculations?
To see if you end up with the product you should end up with. Recipe for playdough given in moles - students had to calculate the grams/ mole for flour, salt, oil, and cream of tartar and then calculate how many grams they needed.
If the playdough worked out, their calculations were correct!

Yesterday, Joseph City JH/HS , Junior Achievement in Arizona, and community volunteers teamed up to provide the Money in Motion program to our students. The program uses realistic simulations to teach students how to plan for their financial futures. Students are given a career and a monthly income and have to budget their income in 12 different categories (education, transportation, personal care, etc). to learn about the cost of living and the importance of planning. Thanks to Junior Achievement and our community volunteers!
Merry Christmas from JCHS! Thanks to Jennifer Westover for setting up an incredible JCHS themed tree!
