 3 cups table sugar
 clean glass cup
 string(yarn), sticks or lollipop sticks snd popsticle stick for hanging
 pan or bowl for boiling water and making the solution
 spoon or stirring rod
How to Grow Rock Candy

1. Gather your materials.

2. You might want to grow a seed crystal, a
small crystal to weight your string and
provide a surface for larger crystals to grow
on. A seed crystal isn't necessary as long as
you're using a rough string or yarn.
3. Tie the string to a popsticle stick. If you
have made a seed crystal, tie it to the
bottom of the string. Set the stick across the
top of the glass jar and make sure that the
string will hang into the jar without
touching its sides or bottom. However, you
want the string to hang nearly to the
bottom. Adjust the length of the string, if
necessary.
4. Boil the water. If you boil your water in the
microwave, be very careful removing it to
avoid getting splashed.
5. Stir in the sugar, a teaspoonful at a time.
Keep adding sugar until it starts to
accumulate at the bottom of the container
and won't dissolve even with more stirring.
6. This means your sugar solution is saturated. If you don't use
a saturated solution, then your crystals won't grow
quickly. On the other hand, if you add too much
sugar, new crystals will grow on the undissolved
sugar and not on your string.

7. Pour your solution into the clear glass jar. If you

have undissolved sugar at the bottom of your
container, avoid getting it in the jar.

8. Place the popsticle stick over the jar and

allow the string to dangle into the liquid.

9. Set the jar where it can remain

undisturbed. If you like, you can set a
coffee filter or paper towel over the jar to
prevent dust from falling into the jar.

10. Check on your crystals after a day.

You should be able to see the beginnings
of crystal growth on the string or seed crystal.

11. Let the crystals grow until they have

reached the desired size or have stopped
growing. At this point, you can pull out the
string and allow the crystals to dry. You can eat
them or keep them.

Materials
• Water
• Paper cups or vase
• Food color(I’m used ink)
• Fresher Flower
• Knife

Preparation
• Measure a ¼ cup of water
and pour it into the paper cups or vase.
• Add drops of food color to the water in the glass.
• With the help of an adult,(I’m not kid anymore) use
a knife to cut the bottom stem tips of several (at least
three) white carnations at a 45-degree angle. Tip: Be
sure not to use scissors, they will crush the stems,
reducing their ability to absorb water. Also, shorter
stems work better than longer ones.
• Place the carnations in the dyed water. As you do
this, use the stems of the carnations to stir the water
until the dye has fully dissolved. I used tape to hold the
flower.

Procedure
• Observe the flowers immediately after you put them
in the water. If you have a camera, take a picture of the
flowers.
• Observe the flowers two, four, 24, 48 and 72 hours
after you put them in the dyed water. Be sure to also
observe their stems, especially the bumps where the
leaves branch from the stem and it is lighter green (it
may be easier to see the dye here). If you have a camera,
take pictures of the flowers and stems at these time
points.
