Three Step Sugar Science Experiment

Pour 1/2 cup Imperial Sugar Extra Fine Granulated Sugar into a shallow pan and heat on medium-high while stirring. In about five to 10 minutes the sugar will start to melt and then will start to become darker and thinner.1When it becomes straw-colored, you have a new substance....caramel!2Turn the heat off and slowly add 1/2 cup cold water to the caramel. (Be careful when pouring the water because the caramel is hot and can splatter!)3By cooling the caramel quickly with water, a brittle, edible candy will form...but keep stirring on low heat for about another ten minutes. The caramel chunk will soon dissolve into a carbon-water solution that is perfect for pouring into a cold glass of milk or using as a dip for fresh fruit slices.4
