Directions
Ask: What do you think will happen when we put candy hearts in different liquids? Lets watch and see! Invite your child to pour a little bit of each liquid into separate cups. The 5th cup is for air (the constant for the experiment). Then invite your child to drop 3 pieces of candy into each of the cups – including the cup with just air. Observe what happens as the candy reacts to the different liquids. Ask your child what he sees happening to the candy hearts?
