Edible Earth Science

Kids love edible science.  Earth Science has several great lab activities.  Your family is going to be very enthusiastic about science!

1.  Make an Edible Aquifer.  This was a huge hit!  Ice cream, candy, and soda!  Wow!  Who isn’t interested in underground water storage?  ( We build an aquifer model with soil, gravel, and sand, too.  Sadly, I deleted the photo and Paul refused to make another model.)  Edible Soil Profile is similar.





2. Make Solar Eclipse Cookies.  A friend made the cookies in the photo below.


3. Geological Layers Cake or Rock Layers Cake are suitable for a geology lesson.  Here is a lesson to pair with the cake.

 Is candy bar 4. Edible Distruction goes well with Graham Cracker Plate Tectonics. Here is  Candy Bar Plate Tectonics with Milky Way bars.

5. Make a batch of Edible Rocks when you study sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks.   Here is a version of edible sedimentary rocks and Candy Bar Geology. 



6.   How about Rock Candy Geodes?

7. Make Edible Moon Phases with Oreos.   Use candy to make an Edible Solar System.
