3) Peeps Sink or Float?

Each and every experiment using peeps mentioned here are simple, easy to do, easy to set up, and fun experiments that breaks the day up and turns into a great science lessons.

Microwave Peeps 
Marshmallows are mostly sugar and water wrapped around a bunch of air bubbles. When you microwave them it makes the water molecules vibrate very quickly and the water heats up. The hot water warms the sugar, which softens a little. The hot water also warms the air bubbles.

As the air in the bubbles warms up, they bounce around faster and faster and push harder against the bubble walls and causes the bubbles to expand, and the marshmallow puffs up. 

Sink or Float Peeps
The orginal Peep floats because it is filled with tiny air bubbles. But when I flatted the Peep on the plate and squeezed out all the air bubbles and then rolled it into a ball, this time the Peep sunk. Let me know if you can make your peep sink and how you did it?

Peeps and warm water
 Peeps are coated in food coloring and sugar. When you pour warm water over the Peeps the colored coating dissolves spreading through the water and making a cool design like Skittles experiment. Plus best part of this experiment is they still taste GREAT! Just a little wet, but the price of doing science. : )
