Hi, I'm Chloe! I taught 3rd–5th grade math for 11 years, and every resource in this shop was built for real classrooms: low prep, high engagement, and a whole lot of sneaky learning.

Looking to grab students’ attention before Christmas break with fun and easy science experiments? These super fun Christmas Science Experiments are perfect to keep your students engaged in such a busy time of the year!

These science experiments use common household items making them a breeze for you to prepare for your students. These easy science experiments will have your students using hands-on investigation skills to create some super fun science experiments.

Click here to see this resource in action!

Christmas Science Activities and Experiments includes:

  • 1 Materials Needed page
  • 5 Student Recording pages with activity instructions

Christmas Science Experiments include:

  1. Create Your Own Edible Ornament
  2. Santa’s Toothpaste
  3. Candy Cane Strength
  4. Building a Tree
  5. What Cookie Will Dissolve First in Milk?

Why Should I Use Science Experiments Before Christmas?

  • We all know how students behave the week before a long break or special holiday! These experiments and investigations will keep your students fully engaged.
  • Behavior problems will decrease as student engagement increases!
  • Hands-on activities create a level of student buy-in. There’s motivation to learn and grow now that the student has enjoyed a learning activity.
  • Experiments allow for a great classroom discussion, problem-solving, and interactions between students and teacher.
  • Hands-on activities will also allow students to be social. This will be a great relationship building activity for students.
  • Have fun with your students! They are able to see your personality and you are able to learn more about them, too.

With the printable pages, you can send them home for students to make with their families, too!
