It is with profound sadness to share that Young Chefs Academy lost a bright shining presence at the Young Chefs Academy of Richmond in Virginia. Claire had a passion for life and for the students and parents as an instructor at the academy. She embodied everything Young Chefs Academy stands for and touched the lives of all of her students. We lift our thoughts and prayers to her family during this difficult time and want to honor Claire's memory as a staple at the academy and within her community.

Brace yourself, we're about to unleash a candy explosion like no other! 🍬☀
When Skittles are put in water, the colorful sugar molecules move from the candy to the water. The colors don't mix because of water stratification. That means the colors have different properties that keep them from mixing. Be careful not to bump the table when you do the experiment!
