Description
Wow science! Whether it's the end of the year, summer school, or just Fun Friday, it's a great time for Candy Labs! You won't just get a "wow, cool" with these investigations. Students are doing some serious science!
Study physical science concepts while focusing on identifying variables, measurement, collecting and recording data, and drawing conclusions.
Most students need a lot of practice with scientific practices, and this is a fun way to hone those skills while learning about the properties of matter, mixtures and solutions, and physical and chemical changes.
