Students from seven Gaithersburg area elementary schools visited Johns Hopkins University's Rockville Campus for a scientific take on bread baking.

Hundreds of Gaithersburg area elementary school students took to the Johns Hopkins University Montgomery County Campus in Rockville on Friday, April 5, and Monday, April 8, for a lesson in science and baking.
