My Science Question is:
How do you make hokey pokey, what is the reaction when you add the baking soda to the sugar
and golden syrup, what creates the air bubbles when it hardens, what atoms are involved, and why
does it harden.
How do you make hokey pokey, what is the reaction when you add the baking soda to the sugar

does it harden.
Hokey Pokey is a mixture of Golden Syrup, sugar and baking soda that hardens to create an
aerated toffee.
aerated toffee.
Method
Line a 20 x 20 pan with baking paper.
Dissolve 5 TBSP white sugar in 2 TBSP Golden syrup under a low heat. Once dissolved boil slowly
for 2 mins. Take off heat and immediately add 1 tsp of baking soda stirring in. pour into prepared pan.
Leave to harden.

My hypothesis is that the hokey pokey will be well aerated and will harden niceley.
This Is what happens when you make it:
Golden Syrup + Sugar + Baking Soda = NaHCO3 (s) Na2co3 (s) + H2O(g) + CO2 (g) - Hokey Pokey
The Result.
When I made my hokey pokey I over cooked it so it tasted a bit burnt. My hypothesis was right it did
turn out well aerated and hardened properly.
turn out well aerated and hardened properly.
I think That my experiment has worked well, but next time I should do it over a lower heat so it doesn't
burn
