&Grandpa’s kitchen How To Make Rock Candy!
Things you will need:
-hot water
-white sugar
-pencil
-glass
-20 cm of string
First you must fill the glass up halfway with hot water. Then you must put about two(I put about two) teaspoonfuls of white sugar into the hot water. Then you take your pencil and wrap the string around it so that there is hanging down to reach the bottom of the glass and have a bit sit on the bottom. This is important to make sure the sugar collects on the string properly. Next you knot the string around the top of the pencil so that it will stay in place. Finally, wait. The next day you should see a few crystals forming on the string. Wait about a week if you want them all to collect into rock candy. If it’s not big enough wait a little bit longer.
Today I started this experiment. I added blue food dye to make my rock candy blue. You can add any colour and the candy will turn that colour. This is a good activity on a boring day where you have nothing to do. Yummy!
I’m looking forward to eating it!
