Sugar Webs
Today, at technicraft, the year 8’s and I had to do an experiment, that involved melting different types of sugar.
Here is the procedure:
Equipment
🌴 1 tablespoon of Sugar (white sugar, brown sugar, raw sugar, caster sugar, coffee sugar, demerara sugar, coconut sugar, any sugar)
🌴Gauze mat
🌴Small Tripod
🌴Meths burner
🌴Tooth picks
🌴Damp cloth
🌴Matches/lighter
🌴Square Tin foil
🌴Flat surface
Method
- Place your tripod on a flat surface, then put your gauze mat on top of your tripod.
- Grab your tin foil and slightly tilt, the four corners of your tin foil, and then place it also on top of your gauze mat
- Pour 1 tablespoon of any type of sugar onto your tin foil
- Wipe (safely) your meths burner with a damp cloth.
- Light your meths burner with your lighter or match, and move it under your tripod
- Grab one tooth pick, and gradually mix your sugar with the side of your tooth pick, NOT with the pointy tip
- Wait, patiently until your sugar turns into a liquid
Sugar Spider webs
If you want to create Sugar spider webs here is how↓↓
- Grab, your tin foil, with your melted sugar, then place it on a flat surface
- Take another, toothpick and dip it into your liquid sugar
- Take out your toothpick,(Carefully and slowly), with a string of sugar attached to it, BUT be accurately careful, sometimes your sugar spider web might snap
Be fast, because it might turn back to a solid object, like toffee. 😊😊
