Now that spring is here, we’re thinking about Easter STEM activities. I don’t know why, but I usually only want to eat jelly beans when it’s Easter. I realize they are candies that you can get any time of year, but I don’t seem to want them unless they are in an Easter basket! This year, I thought, why not try to bring jelly beans into the STEM classroom? These jelly bean STEM experiments do just that!

And if you get tired of jelly bean STEM activities, you may want to check out our list of Easter slime recipes, Peeps STEM activities, and egg science experiments.

What are Jelly Bean STEAM Activities?

A jelly bean STEM experiment or STEAM activity is simply a STEM activity that uses jelly beans as part of the challenge.

Adding something fun like candy to a STEM activity can make it more fun for kids and candy is usually an inexpensive material that the whole class can use.

If you are looking for unique Easter STEM activities, then why not try these STEM activities that use jelly beans!

Most of these project ideas can be turned into complete STEM activities, but I’ve broken the jelly bean activities into the five usual STEM topics, science, technology, engineering, and math.
