Hello today we are making 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:
- 2 tablespoons Golden Syrup
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- 1 Heaped teaspoon of baking soda
- Pot
- Tablespoon and teaspoon
- Bunsen burner
- Grease proof paper
- Put 4 tablespoons of sugar and 2 tablespoons of golden syrup in a saucepan and melt.
- Bring to the boil and simmer gently for 5 minutes
- Add baking soda and stir vigorously.
- Put the hokey pokey on a piece of grease prove paper to to cool.
The more the sugar syrup is cooked the browner it becomes. If it is left cooking for to long your hokey pokey becomes burnt.
- Why do we stir it?
- Explain why the hokey pokey rises and has bubbles?
- What gas is made by the baking soda and sugar?
