Hi! This is a complete lab activity which will enhance your 5th - 9th grade Earth Science unit on faults, folds, and other tension in the Earth. Students will use mini candy bars to model shearing, compression and tension, and will model folds (including anticline and syncline) using red licorice.
Hands-on, yummy fun! :) My 8th graders always loved this lab activity, and it's a great way to reinforce these important Earth Science concepts.

Activity was perfect for what I needed it for. Thank you.
Excellent! Thanks for letting me know this worked well for you.

I'm so glad you enjoyed this! This was always one of my favorite labs to do. Thank you so much!
A fun way to understand faults and earthquakes. Everyone participated and was engaged.
Hooray! It's so great to get students engaged in hands-on activities! I am really glad this lab worked so well for you. Thank you!
This was a great source for looking at how plates moved, in theory. We had a difficult time getting the candy bars to "move" the same way plates move. We struggled with the licorice part of the experiment. Note that I am not a science teacher, so there may have been user error. The students did enjoy smooshing their candy bars, and I was able to refer back to the experiment and their comprehension of plate movements was great!
Hi, Patsy. Thank you for your purchase. I am glad you still had a fun time with this and that the students' understanding of plate movement was solid. I set out to create a fun, "out of the box" hands-on resource, and I am proud to keep the cost low. I'm truly sorry I couldn't earn a higher rating from you, but I am happy your students enjoyed this.
This was a fun activity!
I’m glad you liked this!
Great resource. Thanks.
Thank you!! So glad you enjoyed it!
Neat activity and the kids love eating the candy after.
Thanks! That’s always my favorite part, too! ?
I can't wait to use this with my students. Thanks!
Thank you! Have fun - this is such a neat lab and my students were always very engaged. Hope your kids love it, too!
