I will look for different fun labs which do not involve candy, chocolate, or sweets. However, have you tried candy bar labs? Come on! Save a few fun bars for these labs.
1. First is the Candy Bar Density Lab. Have you taught your kiddos about density? Look at the lab as a review. Do Float or Sink with your youngest kiddos.
2. Test mechanical forces with How Strong is Your Chocolate?, with three types of chocolate bars: milk chocolate, another with peanuts, and a third with rice. You might add dark chocolate to compare with milk chocolate bars. The lab notes it’s important to compare similarly sized bars. This engineering activity, Candy Snap!, is similar.
3. How about Candy Bar Plate Activity? Snack Tectonics has a second lab with graham crackers.
4. Have you tried Candy Bar Geology? N.B. The lab requires six to ten types of candy bars. Look for a sale! Happily, Easter candy is available. Freeze a bag. What about Core Samples? The experiment uses Snickers’ bars. You may as well get another lab from the Candy before the kiddos eat them.
5. Finally, Measure the Speed of Light with chocolate and your microwave. Your kiddos are going to be delirious with joy!
