INTRODUCTION
You may know Sugar Crystals by their other name, rock candy, or perhaps by their most common

adjective, delicious! These take a little longer than the Needle Crystals to build, but they are easy
enough to do and their taste is well worth the wait! This project will let you create and grow your own
crystals. Throughout the experiment you will be responsible for taking notes and picture to track
your crystals growth.

HYPOTHESIS
My hypothesis is that my candy crystal will be as big as the glass jar.
and the jar will be as the glass jar and I dont know how i'm going to eat it.

MATERIALS
1. a spoon to ster
2. a pot to put the ingredients in
3. powder
4. jar
5. sis kabob stick
6. shuger
7. manilategg
8. water
9. tape or a clip
10. heater
11. food coloring

PROCEDURE
1. Make a top for your jar with a small hole in the center.
2. Place the skewer inside the hole and clip it or tape it so it can hang into your jar
without touching the bottom or sides.
3. In the pan start boiling the water.
4. Stir in the sugar (3:1 sugar to water) one spoonful at a time. You want to make
sure there is lots of the solute (in this case sugar) in the solution, but not so much that it
doesn't all dissolve into the solution. If you have some undissolved sugar your Rock
Crystals will start building onto those molecules rather than your string.
5. Add a few drops of food coloring and flavoring to the solution.
6. Carefully pour the solution from the pan into your clean glass jar. Make sure it's
clean, otherwise crystals will build onto those molecules on the jar and not on your string.
7. Place in the skewer into the jar through the hole. Again, don't let the string hit the
sides or bottom of the jar.
8. Find a safe spot for your jar so it won't get knocked around or exposed to too
much dust and debris.
9. Check on your Rock Crystals the next day and notice how they're started to take
form on the string.

10. Whenever your Rock Crystals are the right size for your taste or when they stop
growing go ahead and take them out of the jar and let them dry.
11. Enjoy their sugary goodness!
