Candy Cane
Science
STEM
We had a great time eating candy canes during the month of December but we also had fun doing science experiments.
One of our experiments was dissolving candy canes in various types of liquids to see which would dissolve the candy quicker. We used water, vinegar, lemon juice, cooking oil, 7-Up, and sugar water. It was exciting to see which dissolved quicker. Cooking oil did nothing to the candy cane! The 7-Up was the winner dissolving the candy the quickest.
The second experiment we tried was to see if we could get a candy canes to fizz or erupt. We all made a prediction whether the candy would blow up and erupt or fizz.
You should have seen the kids eyes pop out and hear their squeals as the candy cane fizzed.
Here are some pictures.
