Let me make a confession. I use candy for Co-op science experiments. Candy makes lab more fun. The rule for labs is you may not eat any of the candy until after you finish the experiment. Yes, I have extra candy just to eat. If you find candy anathema skip this post. First up is Gummy Bear Osmosis. (Here is a slideshow with more science.). My favorite candy lab is Jelly Belly Dichotomous Key. These you do eat as you do the lab. Here is an entire page of Candy Chemistry labs from ACS. Have you microwaved Peeps? Try microwaving giant marshmallows. This is not really Science; you can make stained glass by baking hard candies. Here is an explanation of why candy is sticky—useful if you’ve ever wondered why as you chiseled a lollipop off a laminate counter. One more idea—Rock Candy. Frankly, I have never had any luck making rock candy. Do the other labs first in case rock candy fails.
