And we’re back for another fun week of Camp Warner Bros! This week, we’ve got a science experiment for you all to try. Not only do you create in your own science “lab” but the outcome is sugar candy! A little sweet dessert after seeing how fun science can be.
Save the Earth and bring peace to your galaxy with Steven Universe’s “Crystal Gem” Candy recipe here:
The Science Behind The Fun:
As time passes (and the solution cools), the water will slowly evaporate from the solution. As the water evaporates, the solution will become more saturated with sugar. The sugar molecules will collect on the string, and the candy crystals will grow molecule by molecule! Please do make sure to supervise your budding scientists as the solution is very, VERY hot.
Extra Science Fun:
Try making two jars of candy. In the first jar – seed your “Crystal Gem” Candy by rolling your string in water and sugar. In the second jar do not seed your string with sugar before growing. Determine if using seed sugar crystals changes the growth rate of your “Crystal Gem” Candy!
About Steven Universe: The Movie:
After so many harrowing adventures, Steven and the Gems are ready to celebrate how far they’ve come with a movie musical! Little do they know they’re about to face their worst enemy yet.
The movie is available now.
I’ve never heard of Steven’s Universe but the science project sounds like so much fun. I love rock candy!
My kids love this movie, and the science experiment would be so much fun to do with them.
