About this item
"Following the success of the first Candy Experiments, this all-new collection presents more ways to destroy store-bought candy and learn some science in the process. Candy Experiments 2 delivers fun science facts from the perspective of a real mom in the kitchen doing crazy things with brand-name store-bought candy. Marshmallows, cotton candy, Pixy Stix, Jawbreakers, Pop Rocks, gummi candy, chocolate, and even soda provide good excuses to get destructive in the kitchen. Do Peeps dissolve when you drop them into very hot water? Can you make gummi candy disappear in water? What happens to cotton candy when you dip it in oil? Candy Experiments 2 is full of new ideas for learning science through candy. Each experiment includes basic explanations of the relevant 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.
