There is a printable version, editable PowerPoint version and a Digital Google Slides version that will help you save on time and paper!

The 9 Halloween science stations included are:

1. Batty Limbs – Students will compare bat limbs to human limbs to describe homologous structures.

2. Ghoul’s Goo – Students will explore states of matter with oobleck.

3. Disappearing Candy Corn – Students will explore physical changes with dissolving candy corn in warm water,

4. Pumpkin Mass & Weight – Students will obtain the mass and weight of a mini pumpkin to explore the difference between both measurements in matter.

5. Spider Ecology – Students will discuss the ecology of spiders and their role in the ecosystem.

6. Sweet Erosion – Students will perform a mini experiment in which they simulate erosion with sugar cubes and a spray bottle.

7. Moon Phases – Students will identify different phases of the moon in the lunar cycle. Students will also research to see what phase the moon will be on Halloween night.

8. Monster Genetics – Students will create their own monster using Punnett squares.

9. Candy Rock Cycle – Students will simulate the rock cycle using candy.

*Each station should take students between 8-10 minutes to complete.*
