Valentine Candy Heart Science And STEM | K-5th Bundle On Sinking And Floating

Valentine-themed science to create excitement about sinking and floating. Get the complete grade-level series for a bundle discount. Explores density, buoyancy, and how life jackets work. Aligned to NGSS. Jam-packed with an investigation, station ideas, exploration challenge, and STEM challenge using simple supplies. Perfect for the multi-grade level teacher.

Please note this experiment works best with the classic Necco Sweethearts which are now sold by SpanglerCandy or Brach's Tiny Conversation Hearts. However, we can not guarantee how the hearts will work. Make sure you test the experiment first and have raisins as a backup plan. Companies do change their recipe and different brands of soda pop may act differently. This experiment is so much fun, but we want to make sure you have the correct supplies. Always remember this is science, and things may not always go as planned. We will provide you with lots of tips to improve your success.
