All grades, with parental supervision
This website was created by a mom who is a writer with a science background and her inquisitive daughter. Together they’ve developed an incredible archive of free science experiments you can conduct with candy.
As explained at the website, this all began when her daughter asked a life-changing question: “What would happen if I put these Nerds in water?”
That first candy experiment led to many with results like these: “Drop a Warhead in baking soda water, and bubbles erupt. Leave a Skittle in water, and the S floats to the surface. Melt a Starburst, and shiny oil spots form.”
When you get to the site you’ll see a menu of candy experiments. Click on any one and a new page opens with a list of materials needed and instructions on how to conduct the experiment. Try:
- Acid Test
- Chocolate Bloom
- Color Separation
- Lifesaver Lights
- Oil Test
- And Many More!
Under “Resources” at the top of the page, access Printables and Websites to read blog entries, find links to articles about candy, and lots of other fun stuff.
