Carefully remove the candy stained glass from the cookie cutters<\/p>\n<h4>THE STEAM BEHIND THE FUN:<\/h4>\n<p>Most clear hard candy has what food scientists call a glass structure. Rather than individual sugar crystals like you see in table sugar and rock candy, it has a disorganized structure. When hard candy is made, corn syrup (glucose and fructose) is added to melted table sugar (sucrose) to keep sugar molecules from crystalizing. The long sugar chains in the corn syrup interfere with crystal formation, so hard candy remains clear and glasslike when it cools.<\/p>\n<p>This activity is from STEAM Lab for Kids at Quartoknows.com<\/p>\n<p>Stained glass art has been around since the Middle Ages. Unlike hard candy, real glass is made from silicon dioxide\u2014the main component of sand.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Hi Intermediates,<br \/>\nHave a go at some of these but ensure your parents or guardians at home know what you&#8217;re doing!
