Halloween Candy Grabber STEM Challenge

by

A Halloween Candy Grabber is a great STEM challenge for Halloween. Children can investigate by making the grabber shorter and longer or add extra pieces like easy to hold handles or extra grippy bits on the claw part.

I added some teeth and an eye to make my grabber look more Halloween like, but you could make yours much scarier, or just leave out the decorations all together!

If you don’t want to use craft sticks, thick cardboard cut into strips also works well. Cardboard also has the advantage that you can use a pencil to make the holes for the split pins.

You’ll need

8-12 crafts sticks

Split pins

Drill to make the holes

Double sided tape

Googley eyes and other decorations – optional

Dissolving Candy Canes Experiment

by

This dissolving candy canes activity is a great science activity for before Christmas when the festivities are in full swing or after Christmas to use up any leftover candy canes.

The idea is to place candy canes in different liquids to find where they melt the fastest. We used hot and cold water and vinegar, but different hot chocolate temperatures would also work well.

Dissolving candy canes is an excellent investigation for learning how to set up a fair test! This means you need to think about which variables you change and which you keep the same.

Controlled variables are things you keep the same. In this investigation, the controlled variables are:

  • size of candy cane
  • time the candy cane is in the liquid
  • amount of liquid used

The independent variable is the thing you change. In this experiment, the independent variable

What is the Coriolis Effect?

by

The Coriolis Effect refers to how the objects moving on the surface of the Earth appear to follow a curved path due to the rotation of the Earth. It is named after Gaspard Gustave de Coriolis who first described the effect.

The Coriolis Effect influences the movement of wind.

Wind is moving air caused by differences in air pressure. Energy from the sun warms air above land and sea. Warm air is less dense than cold air so it rises creating an area of low pressure. Cooler air moves to where the warm air has risen from creating wind!

Air tries to move from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure.

Wind mostly blows from one direction on Earth. Warm air rises near the Equator and flows towards the Poles where it cools,
