Whenever I put candy to scientific use it builds a phenomenon level of motivation and attentivity as it reaches all our students regardless of their learning needs. The pool of ideas and lessons teachable with candy is like a pool just sitting and waiting to go far beyond our horizon.
Imagine using basic Starbursts or Twizzlers (to name a few) for a quick experiment, students can explore diffusion, solubility, chromatography, chemical, and physical properties, and more!
Not to mention the even more gratifying fact that they will enjoy the lesson: the activity of what they see and do, then what they can eat!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
