Candy Experiments 2 (Volume 2)

I'm using this for preschool lesson plans on cooking. Some of these are great and some so so. These are NOT for eating, but more for changes in matter from heat, cold and chemicals ( safe easy to aquire such as soda). My kiddos did enjoy the poprock experiments, though when I microwaved them I left them in too long! The book is very nicely set up and organized and I believe an older child(ren) would really have fun with these at home or in a class or summer camp.

Expected cooler experiments!

Love it students enjoy this on Fridays!

great fun with grandkids!

Candy Experiments 2 by Loralee Leavitt includes over 60 new science experiments using candy.Chapters include:Acid & BasesDensityLightCrystalsMeltDissolveJust add (or remove) WaterFree the bubblesand Just for Fun.There is also sections on experiment tips and candy experiment science fair projects. The author includes with each experiment the necessary information such as how long the experiment will take, skill level, what you will need, what to do and an explanation as to what is happening and why.She also includes cautionary notes when needed for experiments that are hot to the touch etc. so that no one gets hurt. Some of the experiments contain more candy experiment ideas to expand on what is being taught.I found these experiments very informative. The author does an excellent job explaining why the kids are getting the reaction they are out of their candies well enough for the target age group to understand what is going on.The page's are laid out in such a way that it easily attracts the reader's attention and shows them how fun these experiments can be. This book will easily be a hit for any child interested in science and even those who aren't by making science fun.Some fun experiments include making a Gummy Frog Swim, Bend a Straw without touching it and Bending Light.I received this book from Goodreads giveaway for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

My husband bought it and we were looking for an experiment for the science fair. The whole book is about putting different types of candy in water or the oven and that's all. Nothing helpful for a 7 year old. Might be used for a 5 year old. I was so disappointed with the book that I threw it away. I regret us wasting money on such a useless book.

This is an awesome book that allows younger and older kids to use something they love, candy, for interesting experiments. My kids 4 and 7 loved using their Halloween candy to do these experiments. I would highly recommend it for homeschoolers, parents, and teachers alike.

Another fantastic collection of surprising, amazing, crazy things to do with candy. Sweet science sneaks in as kids create candy geysers, cotton candy stained glass, chocolate sawdust and more. Great for snow days, birthday parties, or post-Halloween candy purges, not to mention science fairs.

This book has unique lessons that tie in with the science curriculum. I like to give the students a lesson out of this book about once a month - just for a treat.
