Candy is one of my favorite words, and it's an even better word when it relates to science. Yes, candy science can happen when you grow rock candy crystals with your class. The entire process for growing these edible wonders of nature is outlined in step-by-step directions. An observation worksheet and inquiry questions are also included. Tip: This would be a great project to send home with the kids or to use with an in-class parent volunteer.
