Rock Candy Investigation Page 11 Look at Day 1. In the cold water mixture, only a small amount of the sugar dissolved, or mixed evenly with the water. Most of the sugar settled at the bottom of the jar. However, in the hot water mixture, the sugar completely dissolved in the water, creating a sugar water solution. Turn the page.

Rock Candy Investigation Page 13 Now look at Day 10. In the cold water mixture, the ice melted. Some of the water evaporated, which means the water changed from a liquid into a gas. But the sugar remained at the bottom of the jar. In the hot water mixture, about half of the water evaporated. The sugar has started to form solid sugar crystals around the screw and the string.
