Day 1 - Sweet Science

Why does chocolate melt in your mouth? Why does corn pop and Space Dust crackle? What makes some sweets sweet and some sharp to the taste? Why are marshmallows so fluffy? Test your tongue - molecules and flavours. Do experiments to find the answers to these and many more questions; and maybe you can eat the results! Chocolate - the feel good factor. A day packed with activities to make your mouth water.
