I just realized that posting about candy projects during Lent is problematic. Sorry. I gave up sweets and social media. I do have candy on my mind. Pin the idea for after Easter.
1. Do some M&M Statistics! We used mini M&Ms. Use Flinn’s lab, Chi Square Analysis with M&Ms. Why? The lab has a chart with the color distributions of different M&M varieties. M&M Statistics applies to traditional M&Ms. We find that the distribution of colors in mini bags differs from samples in one large bag.
2. How about Candy Chromatography? We like to compare Skittles and M&Ms.
3. Have you tried Candy Weathering? What about Candium Lab? Candium is just like Beanium Lab—just more expensive. Since my Chemistry classes tend to be larger, I use beans. I taught once with a teacher who used the same candies all day with over 100 students, who weren’t allowed to eat any of the candy. Booooo!
