CANDY CHROMATOGRAPHY
Perfect for Skittles, Gobstoppers, M&Ms, and similar candies with a colorful and glossy outer coating. SINK OR FLOAT All you need is a container of water, assorted candies, and the Scientific Method! Guess which candy will sink and which will float. Test this hypothesis and see the results. CANDY CLADOGRAM In science, a cladogram is like a family tree of living things. It groups living things into similar categories and shows you how they are related to each other. Try this with candy. How many categories or groups can you make? From these groups, can you make smaller groups? CANDY ENGINEERING What can you build with your candy? The possibilities are endless! Buildings, bridges, cars, and more! CANDY ACID TEST (from Steve Spangler Science) A simple experiment to test whether or not candy is acidic. All you need is candies, water, and baking soda. If the candy is acidic, the mixture will bubble and fizz when the baking soda is added. It's time for science with Ms. Carmen! Put on your science ingredients and get ready for learning and fun! |
