Rock Candy Experiment

Audree and I made an attempt at growing our own rock candy.



Growing


Done!


The instructions said to add 3 drops of food coloring, we put in 4 but even that didn't seem to add any color at all to the finished product.

Try it yourself!

Just make sure your stick or string does not touch the bottom or sides of the jar. I remember doing this once as a kid and the crystal grew onto the container. It becomes nearly impossible to pull out without breaking the glass.
