Miss Chilivetis 713-295-5240 ext. 365 Welcome to Ms. Chili's Science class! Be prepared for a fun-filled year of hands-on learning experiences and a chance to explore the vast world of Science. Together, we will work hard to achieve our personal and class goals as well as make a commitment to find how Science is relevant and important in our lives. During this academic year, students will encounter a vast array of experiences to enhance their education growth and well-being.
