Burning Sugar

Technically, this is Wednesdays weirdest thing, but its just so weird its worth going back for.  So on Wednesday me and Olivia got together to do science, or chemistry.  The first experiment we were required to do was to fill a test tube with sugar, and place it over a flame in a holder.  Then we were supposed to leave it there till the WHOLE tube of sugar melted , or rather burned in to a solid black, nasty lump of burnt sugar.  And let me tell you, that's just what it did.  It took about 15 minutes for the whole thing to pop a little un melted sugar our of its top and start burning.  Fact: It smelled like burning marshmallows.  Maybe that's because marshmallows are pure sugar too...

any who, after 48 hours of soaking there is still a test tube in the kitchen with permanently stuck burnt sugar at the bottom.  :)

mmmm.... think it'll ever come out? There's a test tube cleaner in that chemistry kit, if that would help. :-D

LOL. The "word verification" for this comment is "sneat."
:-D
