Breaking down the elements of sugars
This experiment was really quite entertaining, seeing the
sugar start to bubble and then change to a clear liquid was cool.
I think that I was just as fascinated by it then the kids
were.
This experiment provided us with a clear view of element separation.
We learned that sugar is composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
This is our first attempt, which we realized was wrong because we should not have added water. So we had to start over again.
Once heated there was a formation of a black substance which was actually the carbon.
The liquid formed was a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen.
