This
fun project combines science with art. Crystals are beautiful to look at
and study. Now you can grow your own, draw them and then eat them!

- 1/2 c water
- Popsicle Stick
Method:
- Put the sugar and water in a small
saucepan. - Stir over low heat until sugar dissolves.

1 minute. - Put either a popsicle stick in a glass or tie a string to
the middle of one and lay the stick across the top of the glass.
Letting the string dangle to the bottom of the glass. - Slowly pour the
syrup into the glass. You might want to run hot water over the glass
first or use something plastic. - Let stand, until cool, and watch your crystals form
