How To Make Rock Candy
Are your kids looking for a fun indoor activity that couples the wonders of science with the joys of eating?
This is a fun science experiment our homeschooling family recently got to enjoy. I told them we could turn a homemade rock candy adventure into a full-on DIY homemade rock candy science project, with the scientific method and everything!
We wanted to use this science project to teach our kids the scientific method, we started by gathering them all together and having them decide what they wanted to learn or discover.
If you turn this adventure into a science project, you can swipe up to get these handy scientific method worksheets I made for you to print off and use if you want
