Grape Molecule Food Science Activity
I may be a designer but I LOVE science. I always have. Taking extra science electives in High School and College, I almost pursued Art Therapy but Interior Design ultimately won my heart. That said, I'm a sucker for a great science activity. And the good news is that exploring our world totally counts! Even this super simple grape molecule food science activity the kids did for our Mad Science Halloween Party.
Supplies are simple….grapes, toothpicks, and a plate or tabletop will do. Since my kids are young I let them use their imaginations but older kids may enjoy recreating molecule shapes for some common substances like chocolate, dopamine, or water.
Dr. Drake decided to make his first one look like the patterned table runner.
Then continued building this impressive {and structurally sound} molecule!
My little guy, Dr. Rhett, was a tentative at first but after the first few pokes dove right in.
He thought toothpicks were more fun than grapes and created what we decided was a “virus”. ?And how cute are the lab coats I made!? I know I shouldn't brag but I am pretty excited at how easy they are. You can pick up the iron-on cut files and more Mad Science Party Details with Cricut.
Or an insect that has amazing balance! Quite the formidable sight to any other smaller insects! Or viruses.
Dr. Isadora has a knack for geometry and created this fun pyramid molecule first.
Which morphed into a multilevel creation. And ended up being a house for a grape “man”. I've tried to stay pretty neutral with gender stereotypes but this girl is maternal to the core!
You know when you see this face you've scored a bunch of mom points! Love this grape molecule food science activity that works for kids of all ages. You can try this experiment and several more with a Mad Science Party of your own! Or just a super fun play date.
Pin it for Later!
Until next time my friend,
