12 Edible Science Experiments for Kids

At Home

Peanut Butter Playdough

This edible playdough means you can play with your peanut butter and eat it too.  Any time you mix ingredients to form a new texture, it’s an easy way to talk about chemistry.  For this recipe you need:

  • Creamy peanut butter
  • Powdered sugar
  • Dry milk powder

Easy Edible Science Experiments for Kids

Metamorphic Starbursts

Teach your kids about metamorphic rocks and the rock cycle–with Starburst candies! Press warm Starbursts together to teach about rock layers. Use a different color Starburst for each layer to help the kids visualize it. 

Moon Cycle Cookies

Learning the different phases of the moon cycle doesn’t get much tastier than this!  Carve (orrr…lick) the frosting on black and white sandwich cookies to illustrate the 8 phases of the moon. 

Gummy Bear Genetics

Understanding genetics just got unbearable fun!  Use different colored gummy bears to show how genes are passed from one generation to the next.  

Solar Oven S’mores

Pizza boxes, aluminum foil and cling wrap make this melty experiment about heat and energy. Solar oven s’mores are always a hot project in my classroom and I keep going back for s’more year after year!

Floating S-Kittles

Teach children about the Scientific Method. Make predictions by watching the S magically float off candy Skittles.  I LOVE the reaction this experiment gets from kids (and me too)!

Gum Drop Engineering

Kids love to put their engineering hats on with this gum drop experiment. Build structures with toothpicks and gum drops. Spaghetti or cooking skewers work in place of toothpicks if you want to build taller structures.

Cookie Erosion

Using cookies and few “excavating” tools will have the process of weathering play out right before your eyes.  No eroding brains around here!

DIY Edible Science Projects For Kids

Homemade Butter

One of my students’ favorite science lessons each year is making cream turn into butter.  They love watching the transformation as they take turns shaking a jar full of cream. They especially love sampling the butter on fresh bread at the end!  Michaels sells mason jars in any size and shape you need.

Jelly Bean Solubility

Dissolving jelly beans in various liquids is a fun way to put some extra spring into your scientific endeavors.  Which liquids dissolve the jelly beans the fastest? Why?
