This is easy and pretty much all you need is to buy is a bag of m&m's! My students loved this and made great connections between the actual layers of the Earth and how it correlates with m&m's. There is also an answer key included. Very easy to follow directions.

Have students create a poster or powerpoint to assess their understanding and knowledge of the similarities, differences, and explanation of elements, compounds, and mixtures. Excellent as an introduction or summative assessment.

A lab with easily attainable materials and easy for students to complete independently in small groups.
