Why not combine science and candy? Give this fun and delicious experiment a try!
You Will Need:
- 1 cup of water
- 2 cups of sugar
- 1 glass jar (the taller the better)
- 1 pot
- 1 wooden skewer stick
- 1 clothespin

Step 1: Hold the wooden skewer stick in the jar so that it is about an inch above the bottom of the bar
Step 2: Use the clothespin to secure the skewer where you are holding it
Step 3: Remove the clothespin-clamped skewer and set aside
Step 4: In the pot, bring the water to a boil
Step 5: Add 1/4 cup of the sugar to the boiling water, and stir until it all dissolves
Step 6: Keep adding the sugar in 1/4 cup increments until the sugar will no longer dissolve
Step 7: Once the sugar will no longer dissolve, remove the pot from the heat and let cool for 20 minutes
Step 8: Once cool, poor the solution into the jar
Step 9: Place the clothespin-clamped skewer back into the jar
Step 10: Set the jar aside for 3-7 days, and watch the sugar crystals grow!
Step 11: Enjoy your delicious candy!
