Solid state physics experiment

• Solid state physics Experiment 
• Solid state physics experiment
• Aim :
• was to make crystals  
• Materials:
•  1 cup of water, 3 cups of sugar/salt, a teaspoon, a saucepan, food coloring, a clean jar, a piece of cotton string, a pencil, a paper clip,tin foil.
• Procedure:

Boil the water. Slowly stir the sugar into the water, until the sugar is dissolved. Put the food coloring into the water and pour into the jar. Tie the string onto the pencil and tie                                   the paper clip to the other end of the string. Put the pencil across the top of the jar. Put                                 the jar in a safe place and cover it with tin foil. 

            Observation :

                               We watched the crystals form on the string for two weeks. My jar formed crystals first                                   as it was made with sugar. 

          

             Conclusion:

                                It was fun making crystals. Our experiment was a success because crystals formed on                                   my string.
