Hi - This is a STEM activity that gives you a look at what geologists look at when they drill "core samples." In this activity, you model this with candy bars and a straw.

This is not an experiment suitable for a science fair project. If you are looking for a school project, we recommend searching the Science Projects area instead.

For safety, it is not recommended to eat the candy bars used to make the samples. This would especially be true if many hands are involved.
