Science Buddies: When Science Is Sweet: Growing Rock Candy Crystals

Curated by ACT

Though rock candy seems to be a simple enough treat, it is also pretty interesting to make. Crystallized sugar that can be grown from a sugar-water solution is just how rock candy is made. In this experiment, you will learn to make your very own rock candy and determine if using seed crystals changes the growth rate of your sugar crystals.
