Rock Candy Update and Great 7 Year old Ideas!

So here are the results of our Rock Candy Experiment.

Most of the jars actually grew candy crystals on the top, 

as well as on the bottom of the jars.

 

 

I have a theory that the sticks where the candy was supposed 

to grow were messed with a bit TOO much 

for them to grow very large.

 

But they were still super yummy and 

some of them turned out Super Beautiful!

  

 

 

In the middle of extracting all this yummy rock candy 

Lunch needed to be served. 

Enter the brain of a 7 year old. 

Suddenly this plain old meal of Hot Dogs 

is a Creative Adventure!

 

 

Hot dog, pickle, and cheese skewers 

are SOOOOO much fun!!

The aspiring Science mom! (aka trying to grow rock candy!)

So the girls love experiments and I encourage them, 

Spring break was just one example.  

I had always wanted to try making rock candy 

and so after hearing, I'm BORED one to many times 

I gathered my science brain and all my research 

and we got to work making rock candy!

Start with a little prep! 

LOTS of stirring and lots of sugar!

Before long you have a Rainbow of 

Rock Candy Solutions! 

I'll Post results!! 

I promise!

 This girl wanted to be a bit too much of a helper.

 

But Mac N Cheese solves most problems!

At least for her it does!!
