I am also making peppermint bark with my AP Chem students tommorow - we discuss heat transfer, melting point and crystallization (tempering chocolate) - and they actually learn something! That is also deadly delicious! And I have to sample each groups batch or they get offended if I only sample one - sigh!
That's awesome - I bet they will appreciate it. I'm not familiar with the AP Chem curriculum, but the AP Stats and AP Calc are pretty 'canned' and there wasn't a whole lot of room to do extra, fun stuff. One thing I did with my AP Stats students when I student taught was an Oreo experiment to compare two population means. The "populations" are double-stuffed oreos and regular oreos, the question being is the amount of filling actually double :-) they got 20 min or so to dissect the frosting from cookies, mass it, and then we analyzed the data.
