Lollipops Young Scientist - Making Your Own Lollipops

This afternoon, L went for the lollipop class (children age 5 yrs to 10yrs). She spent 3 hrs there and came home with a "certificate" and 2 lollipops.

It was interesting according to her :) Things that she learnt:

• observing how the mixture turned out
• appearance at different steps
• What happen to the sugar when mix with hot water - dissolved
• Why did candy turned hard
• was asked to draw the solid molecules
• hands on to make their own lollipops and wrap it themselves

At the end of the lesson (before wrapping their lollipops), they were asked to fill up the "test" paper. Looking through the paper, I thought it was tough for her age but she did pretty well. I asked her if she fill in the blanks herself and she told me she did it on her own. She also said that when didn't understand what was the question, she asked the teacher. Well done Sweetie!

Me : Who will get the lollipops?

L : I'm giving the chocolate one to didi. I know he likes chocolate... The strawberry one for me because I like strawberry.

Me : Oh! How about daddy and me? You mean we don't have any?

L : Mommy will take a little from didi because you like chocolate and daddy will take a little bit from me.
