Kids love gummy candy, so why not incorporate some bears and worms into two fun projects – one to eat and one to explore science!
Gummy Bear Popsicles - Your kids will love this cool, sweet treat.
Ingredients:
- Gummy bears
- 7-Up or other clear liquid
- Popsicle molds (You can find these at the Dollar Store)
Steps:
Just one! Simply add gummy bears & 7-Up to the popsicle molds. Freeze until solid and enjoy!
Dancing Worms - Try this wiggly science experiment while you’re enjoying your treat (recipe above)!
Materials:
- 3-4 gummy worms
- 2 containers (at least one should be clear)
- 2-3 T baking soda
- 2-3 T water
- 1 cup white vinegar
- scissors
- strainer
Steps:
- Cut the gummy worms lengthwise (in fourths is best). This makes them dance better.
- Mix water and baking soda in one container (this one doesn’t need to be clear).
- Let the gummy worms soak in the mixture for at least 20 minutes.
- Strain the gummy worms and set aside.
- Pour the vinegar into the clear container.
- Add the worms one at a time & begin the worm dance!
Keep your dancing shoes on because this experiment can be repeated over and over.
