STEM activity with Candy Canes

Candy Cane Science???
We had a great time NOT eating candy canes!  
Yes, we used them in science class.  Our first activity tested the dissolving time with different temperatures of water.  The second fun thing we did was to observe what happened when we dropped candy canes in different types of liquids.  We uses water, vinegar, lemon juice, cooking oil, 7-Up, and sugar water.  If was exciting to see what liquid dissolved the candy cane first.  Our last little project was to guess if the candy cane would fizz or erupt when we put baking soda on the candy and then dropped some vinegar on the top.  
We had so much fun not one students asked to eat the candy.
