Chemistry in the Classroom (Chemistry of monsters-Mel Science)

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:
  1. Anthocyanin
  2. Citric acid x2
  3. Solid Fuel
  4. Sodium carbonate x2
  5. Sodium hydrogen carbonate x2
  6. Aluminum foil x5
  7. Double-ended measuring spoon x2
  8. funnel
  9. Liquid soap x2
  10. Protective gloves
  11. Syringe without needle
  12. Thermochromic sticker x2
  13. Wooden stick x4
  14. Experiment card x2
  15. Instructions

Sugar Snake: (Grow a black snake out of sugar!)








Foam Eruption: (Foam erupts out of the flask like real lava!)
