We recently started a subscription to Mel Chemistry and our first science experiment came in the mail this week. It's a chemistry lesson named: "Chemistry of monsters."
For one of the experiments it's a Sugar Snake. We used baking soda and sugar on a heated plate and grew a snake from the two. The chemical reaction with the soda, and sugar, when heat is applied was a good lesson in chemistry, for sure.
This chemistry set came with the following:
- Anthocyanin
- Citric acid x2
- Solid Fuel
- Sodium carbonate x2
- Sodium hydrogen carbonate x2
- Aluminum foil x5
- Double-ended measuring spoon x2
- funnel
- Liquid soap x2
- Protective gloves
- Syringe without needle
- Thermochromic sticker x2
- Wooden stick x4
- Experiment card x2
- Instructions
Sugar Snake: (Grow a black snake out of sugar!)
Foam Eruption: (Foam erupts out of the flask like real lava!)
