3 SWEET Valentine Candy Heart Labs
What I love about homeschool science is the freedom to take fun themes and incorporate them into our general science goals. Whether you are teaching elementary school or middle school, being able to read graphs and interpret them is key in the world of science. Guide your student through the basics of analyzing a graph, conducting a basic experiment, and practicing the art of measuring mass with a triple beam balance. Check out these 3 fun and interactive VALENTINE CANDY HEART LABS!

Valentine Candy Heart Measurements Lab
Learning to use a scale and balance is important in the study of science. As your student progresses through their school career, it will become evident how crucial it is that they learn how to measure and use scientific measuring tools appropriately. The Valentine Candy Heart Measurements Lab is a hands-on learning lab designed to teach kids these valuable skills.

Candy Heart Observation Lab
This Valentine Candy Heart Observation Lab is my favorite. Fizzing, sinking, dancing, floating, and dissolving are all vocabulary words to be discussed during this lab investigation. The materials list is short and sweet. However, the lab does take two days to complete which you will need to take into consideration when planning.

Food for thought...
Looking for a more permanent science curriculum? Even though we pursue various science units that encompass labs and such, we also use a science textbook each year. Some might say that our science units supplement our textbook, while others would say the opposite to be true. The labs, experiments, graphic organizers, videos, and other activities bring the textbook information to life.
We use Abeka Science textbooks. I love that they incorporate God and His sovereignty into their curriculum. When I taught in the public school system, I noticed that many of my students were lacking in vocabulary. This made it difficult for them to understand the why behind many of our investigations. Unfortunately, they were deficient in their background knowledge. Our science time would be lacking too if it weren’t for the rich vocabulary and science language that we find in our science textbooks and readers.
