My Project

Students will be learning about amusement park and fair foods. If we get a cotton candy machine, students will learn the science behind making this sweet treat.

Students will be rewarded for good behavior by experiencing the cotton candy machine and trying a sweet treat.

The science behind how cotton candy is made makes this a STEAM project for our students that is not only educational but fun.

This will be a part of a larger project to aquire some special appliances that will allow us to make unique fair foods in class.
