At our Girl Scout Winter Weekend, we rotated 100 girls through five different stations (25 minutes each with 5 minutes to travel in between stations) on the topic of \u201cScience is Fun!\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>My station was \u201cScience that Cooks.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>We made the Blooming Rose with the recipe that follows:<\/p>\n

Discuss safety issues.\u00a0 (ex.\u00a0 hot burner, cleanliness, etc.)<\/p>\n

Make sure you wash\/sanitize your hands before handling food.<\/p>\n

In a heat-resistant bowl, measure 1\/3c marshmallows.\u00a0 <\/span>Set aside.<\/p>\n

Measure \u00bcc applesauce and 1t redhots and heat until applesauce is very hot (enough to melt the marshmallows).\u00a0 <\/span>Applesauce will turn pink.\u00a0 <\/span>Spoon the \u00bc c applesauce over the marshmallows.\u00a0 <\/span>Let set to allow marshmallows to melt up into pink applesauce and form the blooming rose.\u00a0 <\/span>Let cool a bit before eating.\u00a0 <\/span>The redhots provide not only color, but a cinnamon flavor.<\/p>\n

I purchased the following quantities to accommodate 100 participants:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

10 bags mini marshmallows<\/p>\n

5 jars of applesauce<\/p>\n

100 heat-resistant bowls<\/p>\n

100 plastic spoons<\/p>\n

Napkins<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Besides the above, also bring:<\/p>\n

\n

Heat source (crockpot, electric skillet, campstove, firewood, burner, etc)<\/font><\/p>\n

Thermometer (optional)<\/font><\/p>\n

2 pans<\/font><\/p>\n

Large bowl for marshmallows<\/font><\/p>\n

Measuring cups and spoons (1t, 1\/4c, 1\/3c)<\/font><\/p>\n

Trash bags<\/font><\/p>\n

Recycle bin for plastic silverware<\/font><\/p>\n

Dishclothes and towels for clean up.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

You can do this at a campfire, with a campstove, or other heat source.\u00a0 <\/span>We used a portable, double-burner stove.\u00a0 <\/span>To move the girls through the stations in 25 minutes, we started with hot applesauce in one pan and let them measure their serving into the other pan along with the red hots.\u00a0 <\/span>The bowls, spoons, and napkins were at the tables.\u00a0 <\/span>We had a marshmallow station, and a cooking station.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Wash\/sanitize hands.\n
  2. Measure 1\/3c marshmallows into bowl.<\/font><\/li>\n
  3. Return bowl to your table.<\/font><\/li>\n
  4. Come to cooking station and measure \u00bc c applesauce and 1t redhots into pan.<\/font><\/li>\n
  5. Return to the table to get your bowl of marshmallows.<\/font><\/li>\n
  6. Come back to the cooking station to get your pink applesauce.<\/font><\/li>\n
  7. Wait and Watch to see your blooming rose.<\/font><\/li>\n
  8. Eat when cooled.<\/font><\/li>\n
  9. Clean up. Throw bowl away and recycle plastic fork.<\/font><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
