Anything can be educational, and this activity proves it! I first saw a Pop Rocks study on LittleBinsforLittleHands, who I’ve referenced many times on this website. They have a ton of awesome STEM ideas and activities that keep kids entertained and learning!

This was a unique idea, so I wanted to give credit where credit is due. They also have a worksheet listed, so feel free to use mine or theirs. Either way, your child is guaranteed to have a blast because, well, candy is involved!

Pop Rocks make the perfect subject for a 5 senses theme, because you can use all of your senses to observe and play! They make sound when the get wet, they have a unique flavor, they can be seen and smelled. It’s absolute perfection for anyone learning about their senses!

The worksheet is quite simple, and could be done on basic paper if you don’t have a printer. The goal remains the same: to study, discuss, and observe the fun candy together!

Encourage your child to make educated guesses and save the tasting for last, if possible! It makes the experience even more fun for those that have never experienced the joy that Pop Rocks can bring!

You can even add a dash of water to one of the cups of pop rocks to show your child how they make sound. Ask them to guess what will happen when they put the candy in their mouth.
