About this item
Brilliant use of Valentines, Easter, Halloween, and other holiday candy! Fun, colorful, and full of surprises, Candy Experiments will have kids happily pouring their candy down the drain and learning some basic science along the way. Candy is more than a sugary snack. With candy, you can become a scientific detective. You can test candy for secret ingredients, peel the skin off candy corn, or float an m from MMs. You can spread candy dyes into rainbows, or pour rainbow layers of colored water. Youll learn how to turn candy into crystals, sink marshmallows, float taffy, or send soda spouting skyward. You can even make your own lightning. Candy Experiments teaches kids a new use for their candy. As children try eye-popping experiments, such as growing enormous gummy worms and turning cotton candy into slime, theyll also be learning science.
About the Author
When my daughter was four years old, she asked a question that changed everything: "What would happen if I put my Nerds in water? " We've spent years destroying candy and coming up with crazy science experiments, like Pixy Stix crystals, M&M m's that float, giant growing gummies, candy divers, and Skittles density rainbows, a process that led to my books Candy Experiments and Candy Experiments 2. I love asking crazy questions--and doing the research to find the answers!
I'm also the co-author of Road Tripping: A Parent's Guide to Planning and Surviving the Annual Car Trip (our family's traveled 60,000 miles so far!) It's just another way to enjoy family time and keep things fun.
