Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

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!
