Oregon-Davis High School Chemistry 2 students visited the Starke County Humane Society on Friday, April 10.

The animals at the Starke County Humane Society are the beneficiaries of an Oregon-Davis High School class project. Chemistry 2 students applied the principles of stoichiometry, which is the study of the amounts of substances involved in reactions, to baking.

As part of the assignment they also produced videos about their process and why they wanted to donate the treats they made to the local animal shelter. They dropped the goodies off last Friday and showed the videos to the staff there during their visit. The students also spent time interacting with the four-legged shelter residents.
