Make your own rock candy - part 1

Greetings fellow Scientists!

Today we made rock candy. We used the following equipment:


First, we measured a cup of water and brought it to boil.


Then, we started adding sugar to dissolve it. We were adding it up until no more sugar could dissolve. What we created is called super saturated solution.




Lastly, we poured our solution into a glass and placed a skewer in it. Now we have to be patient and wait for the crystals to grow!



Join us next week to see the results of this experiment.
