We have tried the rock candy experiment before, but this time we wanted to see if we could grow rock candy using Kool-aid!

Do you think you can make rock candy from Kool-aid?

That is the question that I asked Rosie and Jewel this morning. After careful consideration both girls made their predictions, and then we jumped right into the fun! D o you think we were successful?
Read on to find out!

Begin by soaking bamboo skewers in a container of water. Leave them to soak for at least one hour.

Remove the skewers from the water, and then coat the bottom half in sugar.

Once this occurs bring the mixture to a boil and then allow it to boil slowly for 10 minutes.

Remove the pot from heat and allow the sugar mixture to cool for 10-15 minutes.

While the water is cooling you can prepare your glass jars.

Pour one packet of into each jar, using one jar for each color/flavor of rock candy that you wish to make.

Then, pour the sugar-water into the jars and stir each one until the Kool-aid is fully dissolved.

If you are using jars with lids ou can place the lids on the jars and shake them to help get everything mixed.

Now, take a break, and wait for the glasses of sugar-water to cool to room temperature. This part is very important!!

Once the water is cool it is time to submerge the bamboo sticks into the jars.

If you place the skewers into the jars too soon the heat from the water will dissolve the sugar on the stick, and Note: the experiment will not work.

Also be sure that the sticks are NOT touching the bottoms or sides of the jars. This is very important!

Now, we wait. It will take roughly two weeks for your rock candy to fully form. My kids loved checking on their jars each day and couldn't wait for the candy to be ready to eat!

Pretty amazing, right? My kids thought so, and after (slightly) patiently waiting they could not wait to dive in and taste this yummy treat that they made themselves!!

So cool!! It was quite delicious, too!

Why does the candy form on the stick? Why is having the right temperature so important? Dive into the science behind rock candy by visiting the links below:

If your kids loved this yummy bit of science also be sure to give these candy experiments a try:
