Homemade Crystals

When we were learning about rocks and jewels, we started making sugar crystals (rock candy) by letting some cooked sugar water sit in a jar with a string hanging in it. After 3 weeks, we had some beautiful crystals! We fed it to the ants outside afterwards. The camera doesn't quite capture all the beauty of our homemade crystal. Haridas wouldn't stop making silly faces, sticking out his tongue and such, so this was the best not-silly face I could get, lol.
