Materials: 1.granulated sugar 2.food coloring 3.stovetop safe container 4. Cream of tartar 5.candy thermometer 6.light corn syrup 7.water 8.adult 9.aluminum foil pan 10.measuring utensils

Steps: 1. First, add one and three forts of sugar in the stove top safe container 2. next, add 1 cup of water 3.then, add half a cup of corn syrup 4.next, add 1/8 teaspoon of cream of tartar 5.then, combine all the ingredients 6. Next, slowly heat the heat the mixture at a low boil while stirring 7.then, keep the mixture add a low boil and please a candy thermometer in the container. 8.next, keep the mixture boiling until the temperature reaches 300 Fahrenheit 9.then, pour the mixture into the foil pan 10.next, add food coloring to the pan and spread the colors 11.finally, let the mixture cool until hardened.

Lesson: This experiment is used in candy making. When you add corn syrup, it prevents the sugar from re-crystallizing. The cream of tartar separates the sugar crystals into glucose and fructose, which are simple sugars. The light that passes through the translucent sugar glass will take the colors from the food coloring you choose

Materials: 1. Food Coloring 2. Liquid Dish Washing Soap 3. 3 Tablespoons of Warm Water 4. 1 Tablespoon of Dry Yeast 5. 1/2 cup of 20-volume hydrogen peroxide from a hair salon 6. Empty 16 ounce Plastic Bottle 7. Small Cup 8. Safety Goggles 9. Tray Steps: 1. First, put on your safety goggles and place a tray in front of you. 2. Next, pour the hydrogen peroxide in the bottle. (Make sure to have an adult complete this step) 3. Then, add 8 drops of any food coloring of your choice in the bottle. 4. Next, add 1 tablespoon of liquid dish soap into the bottle and swish it to have the materials mix. 5. Then, combine the warm water and yeast together in a separate small cup and mix for 30 seconds. 6. Finally, place the bottle in the tray and pour the yeast water mixture into the bottle. Lesson: While doing this experiment, foam appears having each tiny foam bubble filled with oxygen. The yeast acted as a catalyst or helper to remove the oxygen from hydrogen peroxide. If you touch the bottle, you notice that it is warm. That means your experiment made a reaction called exothermic reaction because it creates heat.

Poor virus feels left out! 

Materials: 1. 3 white carnations 2. Scissors 3. Food coloring 4. 3 small cups 5. Water Steps: 1. First, get the 3 small cups and add 3/4 of the cup with water. 2. Next, in each cup at 8 drops of food coloring of your choice. (Make sure to pour different colors for in each cup to create more multi colorful flowers) 3. Then, snip the last centimeter of the carnations' stem and place each flower in the colored water. 4. Finally, wait for 2-4 days to see the results. Lesson: Transpiration is when plants draw water up through its stem, and , thus, the water evaporates from the leaves' stomata. As the water evaporates, it creates pressure that brings more water into the plant. Since the water had color, it made the flowers become that color.
