6th grade science classes completed a Candy Corn lab as part of our study of the scientific method. Similar to a lab they designed and conducted earlier with Alka Seltzer, students tested out various liquids to see which dissolved a candy corn the most in ten minutes. Liquids tested include water, a mixture of baking soda and water, and vinegar. Which do you think dissolved the candy corn the fastest? What else would you try?
