STEM with a Side of Sweetness

Learning doesn’t stop when school’s out! These hands-on activities from our SugarBee® eBook combine play and problem-solving — with a crisp, juicy snack close at hand. STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math and it can be SUPER fun!

Apple Boats

Build mini sailboats using apple slices as the base, toothpicks for masts, and paper for sails. Float them in a tub or kiddie pool — then have a race! Kids can experiment with different sail shapes or cargo weights to test what floats best.

Apple Oxidation Experiment

Slice a SugarBee® apple and treat each slice with different liquids — like lemon juice, water, or salt water. Then watch what happens over time! It’s a simple, eye-opening way to teach kids about oxidation and chemical reactions (plus, a great reason to snack during science).
