If you'd like to use a candy experiment at your science fair:

1. Your science fair project should be your own work. If you use a candy experiment idea, put your own spin on it by testing different candies and writing your own explanation.
2. You must cite my website/book as your source.
3. Let me know how it goes!

Caution:

• Don't drink the acid test experiments.  Eating too much baking soda can make you sick.
• Grownups should supervise melting experiments.  Melted candy can be much hotter than boiling water.  
• Never heat a jawbreaker.  Melted jawbreakers have been known to explode and cause serious burns (see Mythbusters Episode 20, 2004)
