 Welcome back to Kids Fun Science. My name is Ken and today's experiment is the Peppermint Candy experiment. As always, adult supervision is required. What you need for this experiment is a pie dish, mints, water, and optional glue gun. So a little side warning. Starlight mints are not safe for kids with nut allergies because they're produced in factories where they come into contact with nuts, so please be aware of that. So to get this experiment, you pour water into the pipe pan just to cover high enough to cover the mints, then place the mints in the pattern that you want. I use warm water as cold water takes a lot longer for the design to happen. This is already in fast forward motion, so you can see that it takes a little while, but the hotter the water, the faster the design. And you'll see how that when I hit each other, the designs kind of stop in place. Science behind this, the sugar dissolves in water because it breaks down the bonds between the sugar molecules. Heat makes the sugar molecules move faster, that's why, therefore, why I use hot water speeding up the entire process. So I decided to do another experiment where I take a hot glue gun, make sure you have an adult supervision here, and I'm gluing each individual mint together to get to about six or seven different mints, and then I'm going to make like a mint waterfall here and put it in a higher glass, covering it with warm water. So I get the mints going, I'm going to glue them together and I jump ahead to myself here, save you time watching me do all these, and there you go, I've got seven it looks like. So then you take a large vase and then you're going to glue the last piece, which a little difficult with trying to get my hand to the bottom, but glue that to the bottom of the vase. So it stands straight up, just like this, so I got my hand finally in there, it'll dry pretty quick, and then you should be set like this, and we're ready to go. So then from here, I heated up some water, make sure you have enough water to cover all the mints, and this is warm water again, and you can see it's like a waterfall as it's going down towards the bottom. But what I found interesting is because of all the sugar being heavier as it continued to take the sugar off the mints, you can see that little layer towards the bottom completely go all the way up. So it can eventually went all the way to the top and and covered all but one mint, so which I thought was pretty cool. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this experiment. Merry Christmas to all and make sure you like and share. Thanks for watching. Bye.
