In this fun candy pH science experiment, students will test to see if sour candy is acidic using a simple acid-base reaction! First, dissolve pieces of candy in warm water. Then, add baking soda and observe what happens. If the mixture bubbles or fizzes, it means the candy is acidic!
Activity available at intervals starting at 10am and ending at 1pm and is included in Open Play admission.
