Science Time

I thought it would be a fun science-time experiment to grow some sugar crystals with Kai and Nora so I proceeded to whip up some supersaturated sugar solution and I hung some sticks in it.  I suspect that I missed some crucial aspect of preparing the solution as no crystals formed (perhaps I wasn’t supposed to boil the water).  As as good scientist I know that there is no success or failure, merely data to be analyzed.  Still, next time I’ll read some directions.
