This
fun project combines science with art. Crystals are beautiful to look at
and study. Now you can grow your own, draw them and then eat them!
Materials:
1 c. sugar
1/2 c water
Popsicle Stick
Method:
Put the sugar and water in a small
saucepan.
Stir over low heat until sugar dissolves.
Bring to the boil,
stirring constantly.
When it starts to boil stop stirring and let boil
1 minute.
Put either a popsicle stick in a glass or tie a string to
the middle of one and lay the stick across the top of the glass.
Letting the string dangle to the bottom of the glass.
Slowly pour the
syrup into the glass. You might want to run hot water over the glass
first or use something plastic.
Let stand, until cool, and watch your crystals form
