My science fair project tested how rock candy crystals form by dissolving sugar in hot water and observing how they grow over time. I learned that as the water cools and evaporates, sugar molecules bond together in repeating patterns, creating the large, colorful crystals we see on the string.
What a fun experiment that is useful for candy-making! I would not have expected cooler places to be better. How fun!
