Description

Reinforce inquiry, measurement, and CER writing in your class with this easy prep STEM lab. You will need jelly beans and several small jars, containers, or cups. Students will problem-solve the best way to prove the amount of jelly beans in the container without being able to open it. This works well with 5th - 8th graders, but can be easily adapted to work for a variety of age groups.


Lab Includes the following:

  • Teacher directions for set up
  • Student lab copy
  • Blank CER and guided CER form
  • Student example

Awesome activity - I substituted in color beads (because I have a million of them on hand) but the results with the kids were great. I'm sure they would have loved jelly beans but this still worked great as a engaging activity!

So much fun and a great way to incorporate practice for CER. You could change it up with candy pumpkins for Halloween, mints for Christmas, conversations hearts for Valentines day.
