::Yummy Crystals::

Cae and I grew some Rock Candy this month. She says they were delicious. I think they looked like a gooey, purple mess. But they are beautiful. We peered at them under the microscope. Breath-taking.

Activity: Grow Crystals
Crystals grow in undisturbed spaces where mineral-filled liquid is present. This means that a sugar-water solution in a glass jar serves well as a make-shift "geode."
These are edible crystals: Rock candy.

Observe & Sketch the growth of your crystals
