We’ve been talking about the states of matter: solids, liquids, and gasses. We wondered what would make Candy Corn dissolve. The children worked together and made I wonder statements about what they thought would happen. We dropped the Candy Corn into 4 different liquids and watched what happened. Vinegar was the one the children thought would dissolve the Candy Corn the fastest because of the smell. Ask your child which one actually dissolved fastest. We made many observations throughout the experiment and the children were really surprised to watch the candy corn dissolve slowly. There was one liquid that didn’t dissolve any Candy Corn. Ask your child which liquid that was.
The children had a great time! We enjoyed watching solids, liquids, and gasses work together and get our minds wondering about how things work.
