Hokey Pokey

 Aim : To make hokey pokey using Sugar , Golden Syrup and baking soda . 

When the sugar and golden syrup combine with the baking soda it froths and makes carbon dioxide gas . That is why the hokey pokey has bubbles . 

Materials : 

  1. 2 tablespoons of golden syrup 
  2. 4 table spoons sugar 
  3. 1 Heaped teaspoon of baking soda 
  4. Pot 
  5. Tablespoon , Tea spoon 
  6. Bunsen burner 
  7. Grease proof paper 
Method : 

Put 4 tablespoons of sugar and 2 tablespoons of golden syrup in a sauce pan and melt 
Bring to the boil and simmer gently for 5 mins 
Add baking soda and stir vigorously
Put the hokey pokey on a piece of grease proof paper to cool 
 
The more sugar syrup is cooked the browner it becomes . If it is left cooking for to long your hokey pokey becomes burnt . 

Explanation : 

Why do we stir ? So the sugar doesn't burn 
Explain why the hokey pokey rises ? cause you added the baking soda
