Hello, my name is Kathryn Christy, and I am a pre-service educator in my fourth year of my undergraduate education.

Alongside three of my peers, I recently presented at a booth at the Cedar Valley STEM Festival at Wartburg College. Our topic was candy science, and we had a demonstration showcasing how water dissolves the sugar from skittles. We also gave a handout with other candy-based experiments, such as dancing gummy worms and candy chromatography.

What are some of your favorite science / chemistry experiments involving candy? How is the inclusion of sugar beneficial and harmful in science?
