Colourful Sugar – Science Project

10 September 2012 by Eileen

We are creating colourful sugar crystals.  The materials are sugar, water, food colouring and a plate. First, we stirred the sugar into the water until it dissolved.  I used lukewarm water to dissolve the sugar more easily. Still Mr K and Ms C took a long time to stir it.  We added a few drops of food colouring.  Mr K chose blue food colouring and Ms C choose pink.

Then we left the plate on the windowsill.  With the sun’s heat, the water evaporates from the plate, leaving the sugar and colour behind.

This is Day 5: It took a lot of patience to turn these into blue crystals!
