Aim:to make sugar crystals
Equipment: Beaker (x2), Bunsen burner, heat mat, try pod, gause mat, styrofoam cups for each person in your group, Popsicle sticks, measurig cylinder, stirying rod, sugar, water , food colouring (optional) and time to let it sit.
Method: get your 50 ml of water to boiling then turn of the heat and slowly add sugar small bit by small bit and mix it until the sugar dissolves and then when after about 2 minute of the sugar will not dissolve any more then add a couple drops of food colouring if you want then pour in to as many cups as in your group then put your Popsicle stick in your cups after wetting the Popsicle stick and covered it in sugar and let it sit for a couple days
Results: on the fifth day we ate it. it tasted like sugar some time in between someone broke all the candy
day one soild on top
other facts
what is a saturated solution : is when something is so concentrated that it can not dissolve or absorb any more solute in to it for example say it was raining and you had to walk to school and your clothes get so wet that it can not get any any more wet.
why do you do you use a saturated solution to grow crystals: because it means that the solute separates from the liquid and forms on around the smaller crystal to make a bigger crystal?
