Spark excitement and keep students tuned in before and after winter break!

Introducing

6 engaging holiday science activities to do before or after winter break to keep students motivated

winter science STEM chemistry genetics six activities for 5 weeks of learning

With these six winter science activities, students will practice and apply their knowledge of phenotypes, genotypes, and Punnett squares to create a snowman family and an edible gingerbread man. They will also practice thermal energy transfer with a Save the Snowman STEM challenge, scientific method with a candy cane experiments, compounds with creating chemistry ornamets, and have a Christmas tree debate as the study natural vs synthetic materials.

You're in the middle of the holiday season and...

Students have lost their motivation to do any work

You're tired and are just trying to make it through to the holiday break

You want something that is fun and science focused at the same time

Never fear...

I've got you covered!

I created these lessons for my classroom to use before break and the first few days back and want to share them with you

This was a blast!!! I used both parts of the packet, first having the students do the paper version of the snowmen then doing the actual gingerbread men in class. It was a great reference my students remembered all year!!! Thanks for the fun 🙂

This is my first year in 19 years of teaching that I am teaching chemistry. Thank you for this resource! You have saved me so much time in planning. I was looking for Christmas related activities to keep them engaged the week before break. These activities really helped!
