Testimonials
The Big Bones Bash event was a wonderful brain-based event that allowed choices and creative talents to flow.
It promoted learning through doing, and then stepped up the education process by teaching others the lessons learned. The boost in the morale of students and the school was evident. The fostering of skills that will be used in the future was inter-laced throughout the project.
Cabot’s Calcium Challenge program highlights the creative ways that teens can inspire understanding among other teens of just how important calcium is to the development of healthy bones. (A hands on way to allow students to learn and to teach others).
Teachers
Angie Timan
8th Grade Science Teacher, Louis Pizitz Middle School
"What is wonderful is listening to the conversations groups are having ... even the heated discussions about how or why they want to do their exhibit a certain way. Amazing too to see the comments in the lunch room as the calcium message is taking hold. One teen choosing french fries and another teen saying 'I don't think those fries are calcium enriched.'"
