4 Engaging Halloween Candy Science Activities For Kids

It is the day after Halloween, and all of the candy is marked down 75%!!! This is the perfect time to stock up for candy science experiments.  We could eat all of the candy, but science explorations are better on the waistline. 


1.  Explore diffusion of colors.  Skittles and Gobstoppers work great for this activity.  You can always find the small bags after Halloween.


2.  Explore the reflection and absorption of light with gummy candies.  You will need lasers for this activity, but it is so worth it.  This is a wonderful way to demonstrate how we see colors.


3.  Pop Rocks, anyone?  Students will love this activity because it involves both pop rocks and soda pop.  


4.  Have a Mentos Diet Coke Geyser exploration.  We know Mentos are not a common candy, but will other candies work.  Buy a collection of candies for the students to test.  They will have a blast, literally!!!!


Have a great time exploring science concepts with candy.  What a wonderful way to have the students take the lead in their learning.
