Just got our October issue of Highlights, with my candy experiments article inside. My daughter was especially impressed to see the "Candy Secrets" teaser on the cover. "They must have really liked it!" she exclaimed.
To find out more about why acid reacts with baking soda, why candy contains oil, and why chromatography separates colors, check out pages 22-23 on the October issue of Highlights. They also have their own version of the Candy Sparks experiment online.

Candy Counting Game
Here's a game I didn't have room to describe in my ParentMap article on using up Halloween candy. I've done this with my children ages 4-6.
Give two players ten pieces each. The first player pushes some onto the table and names a number. The second player adds pieces to reach the number, then takes some away and calls out a new number for the first player to reach.

Parents Magazine Loves Candy Experiments
Yes, it's true. Parents Magazine asked me for some candy experiment ideas to be featured in an upcoming "Play With Your Food" column. It's a perfect fit, since playing with candy is what we do.
They were particularly interested in the colorful Skittles Density Rainbow. Wonder if they'll print some good photos? Guess we'll all find out in November.

Warheads in Action
Here's how Warheads react to baking soda water. The more Warheads you use, the more bubbles you'll see.
Impact Candy Sponsors Candy Experiments
Impact Candy is providing Warheads for the Candy Experiments booth at the USA Science and Engineering Fair Washington, D.C. Find us there October 23-24 on Pennsylvania Avenue near Freedom Plaza.
Warheads make great acid-test candy, since they contain so much acid. Drop one in baking soda water and watch the bubbles rise.
