Introduction

I wonder what red wine and beer can do to coconut candy? This is both a question and experiment which makes me curious. I like it because it incudes close

observations, is very fun, and is neither hard nor easy to do.

HypothesisWhen the candy is put into the wine and beer, I predict that they will both turn a little smaller

because the water will wash off part of the candy. It will definitively get wet which means it will turn

non-sticky, unlike what it was before.

Procedure-Utensils

Required:• 2 or more glass wine cups • 2 or more pieces of coconut candy• 100mL of red wine• 100mL of beer• a table • a piece of table cloth• some tissues• a pair of gloves• 1 plate• bottle marked with mL • camera/phone (for taking photos)

Procedure-Steps1. First, put on some gloves. 2. Then, cover a table with a table cloth to prevent the table from

getting wet with wine and beer.3. After, cautiously pour about 100mL of wine into a bottle marked

with millilitres and transfer exactly 100mL of red wine into a glass cup.

4. Next, carefully rip open the wrapping of a piece of coconut candy and drop the candy lightly into the wine. Wait for 20 minutes, then put on the gloves and put the candy onto the other plate.

5. After that, observe what happens, then record it down, and also take a photo of it to remind you in the future of what it looks like.

6. Take pictures whenever you like and especially at interesting things.7. Then do the experiment again but only using beer instead of wine.8. Redo the experiment a few times again if you need to.

Results

Kind of Candy Description Picture

Normal Candy The candy is yellow, sticky, and shaped like a cuboid.

Candy in Wine (Cienna Victoria)

It smells of stinky wine and was more sticky than before! The candy had a small area of a reddish-purplish colour, a slippery surface, and it turned a little smaller.

Candy in Beer (Draft) The candy that was put into the beer smelt like disgusting candy. It turned a little more sticky and turned much more smaller than before. It also turned harder on the surface (unlike before).

The first thing I did was putting the candy in the wine. Then, I put the candy in the beer. The description of the normal candy, the candy that was put in

the wine, and the candy that was put in the beer are shown below.

Conclusion

“Oh! Now

I know!”

According to my experiment I have conducted, when candy is placed in wine and also taken back out, it will

shrink, the colour will change a little, the surface will turn slippery, it will become more sticky and it will smell differently. That

means red wine has a strong smell, it has a dark colour, it can make candy sticky and is strong enough to wash off

some parts of the candy.

When the coconut candy is put in beer and taken back out,

it smells disgusting, it’s sticky, it turned smaller than before, and it also turned harder on the surface. This

shows that beer can make candy turn harder, also has a really strong smell, can turn the candy more sticky and

can also can make some parts of the candy wear off.
