You can use Skittles or M & M candy too! Week 2: How to read the periodic table of elements, color code the periodic table and periodic table of elements Bingo Learners will need colored pencils and something to use as markers for Bingo Week 3: Chemical Reactions & Lab Materials: 2-3 pieces of Zotz Fizzy Candy & 1 packaging of Pop Rocks Candy (Both can be purchased on Amazon), 2 small cups/bowls with water, object to smash Zotz candy Week 4: Acids & Bases/Testing Acids & Bases Learners will need the following: 1.
