Sink Or Float Candy Science Reading Confetti Place the same amount of hot and cold water in each jar or glass (we used 1 2 cup). place a piece of candy corn in each glass at the same time. the hot water starts to dissolve the candy corn piece right away. observe the glasses until a piece of the candy corn is dissolved. record and discuss the results. First off fill a large container with water about half way up. you want enough water that the smaller containers don’t touch the bottom when full of candy. if they can touch the bottom then the boat won’t tip over and the experiment won’t work. next pick a small container or boat to use with your first candy selection. We worked together to write the name of each candy in the left hand column of their charts. then, each boy made a prediction about whether the objects would sink to the bottom when they dropped it in the water or float on top. they marked their guesses with x’s. middle brother (age 3.5) eagerly grabbed the first candy: a bright orange skittle.
