  3. Wait a few minutes and see what happens!

Science Behind It

The candies used in this experiment are coated with sugar. Cut this candy in half to see the layers. Can you see the sugar coating on the candy? Sugar dissolves in water. When you pour water, the colored sugar starts to dissolve in water and moves along with water. You can see the sugar melted only on the part that meets the water.
