Sugar Crystals Experiment

Use evaporation for this easy sugar crystals experiment.

Sugar Crystallization and Evaporation

Use evaporation to make colourful sugar crystals.

Evaporation can be described as the process in which a liquid is converted to a vapour.

2 spoons sugar
10 spoons water
food colouring
a small bowl or saucer


Method

Stir the sugar into the water until it is all dissolved. Show the children that it has 'disappeared'.
Add the food colouring.
Pour the water onto the saucer and leave it in a warm place for a few days.


Result

The water evaporates and the coloured sugar crystals remain on the saucer. You can break them up and add them to your sugar bowl.


Variation

Make various different colours of sugar crystals to create 'rainbow sugar'.
