3. Your Own Rock Candy
For the next one on the list of cool experiments to do at home with household items, you will need a clean wooden chopstick or a skewer, a cup of water, a clothespin, 2-3 cups of sugar, and a narrow glass or a jar.
Clip the wooden chopstick or skewer into the clothespin so that it hangs down inside the glass. Remove them until later. Pour water into a pan and let it boil. Pour ¼ cup of sugar in the water and stir until it dissolves. Continue to add sugar and stir each time until it dissolves. Carefully pour the solution (with the help of an adult) almost to the top and then submerge the skewer. Let the jar cool and wait about 3-7 days until the sugar crystals grow. You can also add food coloring to your solution if you want a colored rock candy.
