ROCK CANDY EXPERIMENT

ROCK CANDY EXPERIMENT: A beautiful Science experiment & a yummy treat all in one.  My kids loved checking on their jars each day to see if the rock candy had grown!

Materials (per rock candy color)
  • 2-3 cups of sugar
  • 1 cup of water
  • Skewers
  • A jar or glass
  • A large saucepan
  • Clothespins 
Optional additions:
  • Food coloring
  • Candy flavoring
Note:  You can easily double and triple the above recipe.  We wanted to make a rainbow of rock candy colors, so we ended up using 10 cups of water and close to 30 cups of sugar.  As long as the sugar to water ratio is close to 3:1 the rock candy will grow.

Method
  • Combine equal parts of sugar and water in a saucepan and heat until all of the sugar is dissolved.
