You can find rock candy at candy stores or mabey at walmart and safeway!! :)

After you finish the process of boiling the sugar water, add food coloring to add color. (Just a few drops.) Then, if you want to add taste, add extract. (does not matter what flavor) Stir your sugar water until it gets a nice looking color. Then, finish your process of making rock candy.

Rock candy is nearly 100% sugar, therefore it is bad for your teeth, and will mess up your 'blood sugar' levels causing energy spikes and then valleys which make you feel like crap. So, I'd say that Rock Candy is NOT healthy.

It's easy to grow your own sugar crystals! Sugar crystals are also known as rock candy since the crystallized sucrose (table sugar) resembles rock crystals and because you can eat your finished product. You can grow beautiful clear sugar crystals with sugar and water or you can add food coloring to get colored crystals. It's simple, safe, and fun. Boiling water is required to dissolve the sugar, so adult supervision is recommended for this project.

Burl Ives sang The Big Rock Candy Mountain. Burl Icle Ivanhoe Ives was an American actor, writer, and folk music singer. As an actor, Ives's work included comedies, dramas, and voice work in theater, television, and motion pictures.

Because you have to find material to stick to rocks to the stick. And it invovles minerals

A candy store, or mabye even your local grocery store like Wal-Mart

As the solution containing the dissolves sugar is cooled below the boiling point the dissolves sugar reforms crystals on the string or on dissolved sugar crystals in the container.

Well, I'm doing a science fair project on rock candy and my crystals seem to take about a week to grow. It depends on what type of crystals you are growing. I am growing rock candy, but if you are trying to grow real crystals it could take a couple of weeks or even months,.

Actually, it is a physical change because when sugar and water mix together, they are not forming a new substance, sugar dissolves, but it doesn't disappear. So when you crystallize it, it still has the same chemical structure, the only thing that changed is the physical appearance.

Yes.

Big Rock Candy Mountain was sung originally by Harry McClintock in 1928, though it has been covered many times including in 2004 by Muck Sticky, It is also the name of a novel by Wallace Stegner.

i was eating rock yesterday,and i wondered what is was made of.

it is made of pure sugar and water!!!!!

you will now know why the dentist says clean your teeth

thank you for your question.

Sorry about this, but from what I've heard, it takes about a week to make. I was searching the Internet to see how to make it in a day, but I can't find anything. There are some helpful YouTube videos to help, but you most likely can't do it in a day. If you wanted to do it in about a week, here are the steps.

1. Boil water in a saucepan. Once it comes to a boil, add sugar.

2. When the sugar is 100% dissolved, remove it and let it cool.

3. After it has cooled, poor it in a jar.

4. Take a string/pipecleaner and tie it to a pencil. Then place that over the jar. The string should hang just above the bottom of the jar.

5. Wait 5-10 days for the sugar to crystalize on the string.

6. ENJOY!

You also can add flavoring and/or food coloring during steps 1 or 2 to make it better.

BTW- If anyone else knows how to make it in a day, let me know. I really want rock candy, but don't want to wait.

Some amount of time usually. Thats what I am asking too. I need a really good answer.

Aside from a similar appearance, rock candy wouldn't really share the characteristics of natural minerals. Sugar isn't a mineral.

On a basic level it shows you how crystals are formed. In molten metal, as it cools certain metals and rocks crystalize as they cool. Sugar dissolved in hot water will crystalize as the water cools and the sugar molecules cling together and form a new shape.

It costs just about as much as rock candy

its not, its just a great tasting treat. :)
