Candy Experiments

Mehr zum Buch

Brilliant use of Valentine's, Easter, Halloween, and other holiday candy makes this book a fun, colorful, and surprising resource for kids. It transforms candy into a tool for scientific exploration, allowing children to become scientific detectives. They can test for secret ingredients, peel candy corn, or float an “m” from M&M’s. Kids will learn to spread candy dyes into rainbows and create layers of colored water. They'll discover how to turn candy into crystals, sink marshmallows, float taffy, and even make their own lightning. With 70 science experiments, including 29 never before published, children will engage in eye-popping activities like growing enormous gummy worms and turning cotton candy into slime, all while learning science concepts. Themes include secret ingredients, blow it up, sink and float, and fun experiments about color, density, and heat. Aimed at ages 7 to 10, the book also appeals to older and younger readers. Each experiment features basic explanations of relevant scientific principles, such as capillary action in cotton candy, the endothermic reaction of Pixy Stix, and the water-entangling properties that make gummy worms grow. Kids will enjoy pouring their candy down the drain as they explore these exciting experiments.
