    This document provides instructions for a food experiment called "Stained Glass Sugar." It involves heating sugar, water, corn syrup, and cream of tartar to 149-154°C then pouring the mixture into a baking pan coated with cooking spray. Food coloring is added and spread through the cooled mixture, creating a stained glass effect. The recipe lists the ingredients and provides numbered steps to complete the experiment. This experiment works because heating the mixture to a high temperature forms sugar crystals while the corn syrup suspends sugar molecules and the cream of tartar separates glucose and fructose, resulting in a stained glass appearance when cooled.

    Experiment with Food Chemistry


    Chemistry can be fun and easy, especially if you use it
    to create beautiful things that you can eat! Here is a
    food experiment that both kids and adults can have
    fun with at home.
    Stained Glass Sugar
    Ingredients Other Items
    1¾ cups of sugar food coloring
    thermometer a foil baking pan
    1 cup of water vegetable oil
    ½ cup of light corn syrup cooking spray
    18 teaspoon of cream of tartar 
    Instructions
    1 Mix all ingredients.
    2 Heat the mixture slowly and stir it. Spray the baking pan with the cooking spray.
    3 When it boils, put the thermometer in the mixture and stop heating it at 149˚–154˚C.
    4 Pour the mixture into the baking pan and spread it over the bottom of the pan.
    5 Put drops of food coloring on the mixture and spread them with a spoon.
    6 Let the mixture cool and take your beautiful stained-glass sugar out of the pan!
    This experiment works because the high temperature forms crystals of 99% sugar. The corn syrup holds the sugar
    molecules in suspension, and the cream of tartar separates the sugar molecules into glucose and fructose. When the
    mixture cools, it looks like stained glass.

    boil (v): to generate bubbles of vapor when a liquid is heated


    foil (n): a light metal

    VOCABULARY
    Match the words to the definitions.

    1 crystal a a type of sugar in fruits and honey


    2 molecule b a liquid with very small pieces of solid material
    3 suspension c a solid material that has a regular shape with many sides
    4 glucose d the smallest part of an element; it has two or more atoms
    5 fructose e a type of sugar that is produced in plants and animals’ bodies

    Read the text about community gardens. Who plants and takes care of a community garden?

    Community Gardens
    a A community garden is a piece of land in a town
    or city where people in the neighborhood or town
    grow fruit, vegetables, or other types of plants.
    In some community gardens, people pay a small
    fee to rent part of the garden. In other gardens,
    volunteers, schoolchildren, or people from senior
    homes work together. The fruits and vegetables go
    to schools, homes, or organizations that give it to
    poor people in the community.
    b There are many good reasons to have a community
      garden. First, the garden can help people in the
      community. Volunteers work in the garden, and
      they get some of the fruits and vegetables that
      they grow. The city gives the rest of the fruits and
      vegetables to people who need them. This means that communities with gardens often have a healthier diet than
    communities that do not have gardens. Second, a community garden is a good way for children to learn about
    plants and healthy food. Third, working in a garden is good exercise, especially for children and seniors. Finally,
    working in a community garden is a healthy, fun activity for families and communities to do together.
    c If you would like to start a community garden in your community, talk to people in your city government. Explain
    why gardens are good for the community and ask them to start a garden in your town or neighborhood. Volunteer
    to help with the garden.

    senior (n): old person

    Read the text about fast food. Can fast food be healthy?

    The Changing Business of


    Fast Food
    Every day, millions of people around the world
    enjoy the fast service and cheap prices at fast food
    chains, so why is the fast food business changing?
    The answer is that more and more people want to
    eat healthy food, and many customers now do not
    want the hamburgers, pizza, and fried chicken on
    the menus of most fast food restaurants.
    It is hard to offer both cheap prices and healthy
    food, but some new fast food restaurants are
    doing it. One fast food chain in Los Angeles has
    different prices in different neighborhoods of the
    city, so people with less money pay less. Another
    way to keep prices low is to have only small drive-
    through restaurants with no places to sit inside.
    With competition from new healthy fast food
    chains, many of the traditional chains are changing
    their menus to include options like salads, vegetable dishes, and healthy sandwiches. They list the calories in each
    dish on their menus to help people understand what they are eating. They advertise their healthy menus to families
    with children because parents want their kids to eat healthy food. Sometimes new small businesses can make
    changes even in a very large industry like fast food!

    VOCABULARY
    Complete the definitions with the words from the box.

    chain  competition  drive-through  fast food  industry

    1 : a type of restaurant that serves food to people in their cars


    2 : activities to try to sell more than other companies in the same business

    5 : a group of businesses that are all part of the same company
