Hot Chocolate Party

Hot Chocolate Stand
The class integrated ELA, social studies, science, and math throughout this PBL. Students read passages on the history of the cocoa bean and the scientific benefits on your body (meaning hot chocolate can be GOOD for you! - in moderation 😊).
Students learned how Milton Hershey advertised his chocolate product, specifically his chocolate powder, to create the popular drink we now know as hot chocolate. Students then used this information to create their hot chocolate ads.
For the math portion of the lesson, students analyzed the sales profits of past hot cocoa stands to determine how much we wanted to charge per cup and topping. They also evaluated graphs that demonstrated topping popularity to decide which toppings we included at our hot cocoa stand.
Before their class party on Friday, they made signs with the toppings and prices we decided on based on our PBL from the week! Then we enjoyed a nice cup of hot cocoa and the toppings of our choice.
