Candy Experiments Books

Candy Experiments 2

Following the success of Candy Experiments, this new collection presents more ways to destroy store-bought candy. Learn science as you shrink cotton candy, turn brown sugar into white sugar, bend licorice without touching it, make gummi frogs swim, and dissolve eggshells--or teeth--with Warheads.

Candy Experiments 2 includes instructions for planning the perfect science project, and highlights experiments that work at school science fairs. The book is written for children between the ages of 7 and 10, though older and younger ages will enjoy it as well.

Candy Experiments

Make giant gummi worms, turn M&Ms into dazzling comets, grow candy crystals, and turn cotton candy into slime! You'll find all these experiments and more, plus simple scientific explanations, in the book Candy Experiments!

Candy Experiments, published by Andrews McMeel, shares experiments from the popular website www.candyexperiments.com, as well as experiments that have never been published before. Learn how to separate candy colors, make candy cane stripes in bowls of water, sink marshmallows, and float taffy. Each experiment includes color photos and scientific explanations. Your kids will love experimenting with their candy, and they'll learn something, too!
