  • Take a piece of yarn and tie one end to the middle of the pencil. You will balance the pencil across the top of a glass cup or jar when making the crystal. Make sure the string touches the bottom of the glass. Be sure to use cotton or wool yarn; synthetic fibers won't work. Remove the pencil and yarn once you verify that the yarn reaches the bottom of the jar.

  • 2

    Boil 1 cup water, remove from heat, and add up to 3 cups sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time. Stir as the sugar dissolves, and continue this until no more sugar can dissolve.

  • 3

    Pour the sugar solution into the glass cup or jar.

  • 4

    Place the pencil and string across the top of the jar and make certain the end of the yarn is in the sugar solution.

  • 5

    Leave the crystal setup alone. Cover the top of the cup or jar with thin gauze or paper if you like, to prevent dust or bugs from getting into the solution.

  • 6

    Check your crystal project within 24 hours; crystals should be forming.

  • 7

    Leave the crystals alone for a week. By the end of a week (sometimes up to 10 days) the crystals should have crept up the string and be fully formed.

How can these factors be manipulated to grow sugar crystals and make rock candy from a sugar solution?

To grow sugar crystals and make rock candy, you can manipulate factors such as temperature, saturation, and seed crystals. By dissolving a high concentration of sugar in hot water, you create a supersaturated solution. As the solution cools, the sugar begins to crystallize; adding seed crystals can help initiate this process. Keeping the solution undisturbed in a cool, dark place allows larger crystals to form over time.


How can I make large sugar crystals at home?

To make large sugar crystals at home, create a supersaturated sugar solution by heating water and gradually adding sugar until no more can dissolve. Pour the solution into a clean glass container, suspend a string or stick in the solution, and let it sit undisturbed for several days. As the water evaporates, sugar crystals will form on the string or stick.


What Materials Make the Best Crystals Sugar or Salt and Why?

Sugar makes better crystals than salt because sugar crystals tend to form larger and more defined shapes due to their molecular structure. The molecules in sugar are arranged in a repeating pattern that allows for more intricate crystal formations compared to salt. Additionally, sugar crystals are often more visually appealing and have a sweeter flavor compared to salt crystals.
