Christmas Science Labs

I’m not exaggerating here… this is my favorite resource EVER! Christmas Science Labs has all of my favorite things!

Why am I so wild about it? 

  • It includes several differentiated experiments so it will work with many grade levels.
  • It reinforces measurement and science process skills.
  • Kids will have so much fun, they’ll keep it together during those weeks between Thanksgiving and Winter Break.
  • The materials to do the activities are affordable and easy to find at the grocery store or dollar store.
  • All the pages you need are included.  Teacher Directions, Student Directions, Materials Lists, Student Recording Pages (printable and Google Slides!)
Milk & Cookies Lab

What 5 labs are included?

1. Crystal Snowflakes

Thermal Energy and Matter

Students turn simple pipe cleaner shapes into shiny ornaments with a little help of Borax and hot water.

2. An Elf’s Treat

Relative Density

Students read and follow a recipe for a special Elf Drink. Then, they explain why it appears so unusual.SaveSave

3. Help! I’m Melting!

Thermal Insulation

Students determine which material will best keep their snowman from melting in the heat.

4. Milk & Cookies

Properties of Matter

The more milk a cookie absorbs, the happier Santa is! Students conduct an experiment to determine which of three cookies absorbs the most milk. (Option: Santa Scenario or Generic Milk and Cookies)

5. Snowball Launch

Force & Motion

Students design a device that will launch a Styrofoam ball or fuzzball the farthest distance.

Materials, teacher directions, student directions, and student sheet options included!

  1. Hello Ariane!

    I just purchased your Christmas Labs.. and LOVE IT. I had a question for you. I plan on using this for a 3rd grade class for your Milk and Cookies Lab. Instead of purchasing the three beam scale, could I purchase a digital scale instead? This would be faster for my third graders to measure their individual cookies, compared to using the three beam scale. Thank you!
