Edible Science Labs Bundle: 13 Tasty Labs and Growing

Bring meiosis to life with this hands-on Gummy Worm Meiosis Lab! Students model every stage of meiosis with gummy worms to see first-hand how crossing over and chromosome separation create genetic variation.

Explore biomagnification and toxin buildup with this hands-on biomagnification lab with CER! Students model biomagnification using a simple candy simulation to track how mercury moves through a marine food chain, analyze changes in concentration across trophic levels, and observe how toxins increase in top consumers.

This classic cell transport gummy bear osmosis lab is sure to be a hit in your secondary science classroom! It is broken up into two days and the only materials you need are gummy bears, salt, water, cups, metric ruler, and a scale.

Engaging, low-prep genetic drift lab where students use cereal to simulate founder effect, bottleneck effect, gene flow, and genetic diversity.

This edible cell model lab is sure to be a hit in your secondary science classroom! Students are always engaged and deepen their knowledge when yummy treats are involved! This lab includes an editable version, digital version, full lesson plan, rubric, and more! Students will create a model of a prokaryotic cell and a eukaryotic cell using cookies, graham crackers, and candies of your choice.

In this modeling mitosis cookie lab, students will learn about and model the phases of mitosis, interphase, and cytokinesis using sandwich cookies, sprinkles, and candies.

This editable cladograms lab includes two hands-on versions to help students practice cladistics in a clear, visual way. Students complete a candy cladograms lab and a student/teacher choice cladograms activity as they compare traits, complete trait tables, and build simple branching diagrams.

In this fun cookie mining lab, students will model how surface mining impacts the environment and human communities using a cookie and a toothpick!

In this Plate Tectonics Graham Cracker Lab, students model different plate boundaries with edible ingredients and write a short CER about how the model is representative of the actual plate boundary. Included within the lab handout are pre-lab questions, step-by step easy to follow procedures for each type of boundary interaction, scaffolded claim, evidence, and reasoning writing activities, and a rubric.

Bring the rock cycle to life with this hands-on Rock Cycle Lab with Airheads Candy! Students use Airheads to model real geologic processes including weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction, heat and pressure, melting, cooling, and solidification.

In this volcanoes lab, students will learn about and model three types of volcanoes using a cookie, chocolate chip, and a chocolate kiss. They will link the data collected from the models to complete CER activities and draw volcanoes to scale.

In this fun and low-prep layers of the Earth lab, students model the layers of the Earth using a M&M candy. Students make claims as to what part of the candy represents which layer of the Earth and back it up with reasoning and evidence.

In this balancing chemical equations lab, students practice balancing simple equations using candy (like skittles) or provided paper candies. Includes background information, pre-lab, and post-lab questions.
