You can experiment with different water temperatures. I found warm water works best. When Starlight mint are placed in the water, the candy actually dissolves in stripes! The red stripes stay separated for a time due to the variance in the sugar content in the surrounding water. Sugar dissolves in water because water breaks the bonds between sugar molecules. Heat makes the sugar molecules move faster, speeding up this process and is why I use warm water. : ) Liquids, such as saliva, react with mints, and depending on their composition, dissolve them quickly or slowly. As mints dissolve, they release their flavorful oils and energizing sugars. NOTE: Starlight Mints are NOT safe for kids with nut allergies – they are produced in a factory where they can come into contact with nuts! middle school science science experiments for kids kids fun science
