we actually did this experiment before christmas, but it’d also be a fun way to use up your extra candy canes after christmas too!
try to set this up as a fair test. this means you need to think about which variable you change and which you keep the same. there should be only be one variable in an investigation.
in this experiment the variable is the solution the candy canes are sat in. everything else ( size of candy cane, time the cane cane is in the solution and amount of solution ) is the same.
set up your containers, being careful with the hot water.
add a candy cane to each container
