Loralee Leavitt, Author of "Candy Experiments" presents an hands-on, fun, science event at Secret Garden Books in Seattle - Saturday, March 2nd 2013 at 2pm

Go and see Author Loralee Leavitt as she shows kids other fun uses for candy besides eating it!

" Candy is more than a sugary snack.  With candy, you can become a scientific detective. You can test candy for secret ingredients, peel the skin off candy corn, or float an “m” from M&M’s. You can spread candy dyes into rainbows, or pour rainbow layers of colored water. You'll learn how to turn candy into crystals, sink marshmallows, float taffy, or send soda spouting skyward. You can even make your own lightning. 

Candy Experiments teaches kids a new use for their candy.  As children try eye-popping experiments, such as growing enormous gummy worms and turning cotton candy into slime, they’ll also be learning science.  Best of all, they’ll willingly pour their candy down the drain. "
