Back in Technicraft after 1 month!!!

Today on Tech, we went back to Ms Gawith's class, after our lessons last year, we decided to come back, and on today's lessons was about sugar and how to make spider webs with it, Ms Gawith gave us varieties of sugar, we had to choose between, demerara, brown sugar, coffee crystals, raw sugar (white and brown sugar).
Then we got matches and a burner, with a gauze mat and a tripod so that we can burn the sugar, to make spider webs, it's also edible. First we had papers so we can observe, like write things down during the process. Then me and Tristan had to light the meths burner so that we can start cooking the sugar, one of us had to look at the heat if it was burning, so Tristan did that, while I was observing.

Then when it turns golden, it turns out to be ready, so we had tooth pick, and we scooped some sugar to see how long the spider web would turn out, but then we failed. Because we were thinking that it was burned, because I was thinking that Tristan didn't look on how it was cooking. So I was observing while he was watching the heat. So we did the next sugar which was brown sugar, I lit the match then lit the meths burner, so we placed the gauze mat and the tin foil on top and folded the sides to make the sugar not fall.

After that Tristan watched carefully if the sugar was burned. When it was finished, it was golden brown, so we tested it out if it was would either make spider webs, or if the product was nice and good. We did the spider web test first just to see if it would make it, but then it only made like 1 metre of the spider web, which was pretty good, then we tasted it if the product was good, we tasted it but for me, it tastes burnt. So I started writing on how it tastes.

After that, we did coffee crystals, we did the same process to lighting up the meths burner. so we put in the coffee crystals, then we did the same thing like all the other sugars, after that I was observing during the process, then it finished we checked if it would make spiders webs or either its product, if it was good. but then when we tested the spider webs out, it actually didn't make spider webs, as soon as it was my turn, it already went solid, me and Tristan laughed, then we had to right our next hypothesis which was the conclusion, I wrote, then I wrote on how it did and what happened during the process, then we finished, we had to go back to school because it was 12-o-clock. We went on the bus and went back to school. I had fun going back to technicraft after 1 month.
