Rock candy is a simple scientific experiment made at home from sugar and water. Rock candy can be made up of different types of sugar. I used pure cane granulated sugar. Rock candy is formed when sugar is dissolved in boiling water and is cooled and placed in a glass jar with the wooden skewer. When the water evaporates the sugar crystal will start to grow overtime. The water and sugar is a saturated solution, meaning that water could only hold sugar if both were very hot. By cooling the water, the sugar comes out of the solution and forms crystals on the skewer and around the glass. The hypothesis for my experiment was that the more sugar you use the more crystals will form. My question is if you add more sugar, will more crystals?

If I were a halloween candy I would be Candy Corn. I am Candy Corn because you either love me or hate me. Candy Corn is not one of the most liked candies and I am not one of the most liked people. Most hate me while others love me. Some people find me annoying, weird, gross, etc. which is the same thing for Candy Corn. Some people think Candy Corn is overused and because gross and weird after a while, which is also the case for me. Most people don’t even give Candy Corn a chance to see if it’s good or not. People judge me like they judge the candy.

It is commercially mined in Madagascar, South-Africa, Namibia, U.S.A.(South Dakota) , and Brazil. Rose quartz found in madagascar usually have very large crystals and are extremely deeply colored.In South Dakota, rose quartz is found in pegmatites in the Southern Black Hills area. These pegmatites are associated with the Harney Peak granite mass (which is now exposed at the surface of the earth because of erosion). The pegmatite formed in this part of south dakota is estimated to be over 1,700 million years old. When rose quartz forms it is usually crystalline which means that the crystals are very large. Rose quartz forms when magma is pushed up to the surface of the earth and begins to cool and crystallize. The reason that rose quartz crystals often become so large is because the crystals do not stop forming until the magma has completely cooled which sometimes make the crystals grow to very large

Despite a family history of geophysicists and rock enthusiasts, I’ve never found the subject of rocks particularly fascinating. However, an exploration of Earth Science has lead me to the discovery that rocks are actually hidden gems (often literally), and that there’s more to the topic than one would think.

Nowadays, it seems as if you can find sugar anywhere and everywhere. You can go to the grocery store and there will be shelves upon shelves of candy bars. Not only are they plentiful, but they’re also cheap. It appears that every sugary food item is extremely affordable, and healthy foods are expensive. Well, it hasn’t always been that way. Sugar used to be expensive and difficult for many to afford. Candies and other sugar-packed foods were scarce and tasted horrible. But how has that affected how much we eat?

In the article "How Candy Conquered America by Lauren Tarshis" and the article “This Cupcake Is Trying to Hurt You by Kristin Lewis" they both talk about candy and how it became so popular and how it is unhealthy. In the first article it says "They removed the chemical flavorings and colors. Big mistake! Loyal customers were furious. sales dropped 35 percent, and the company decided to return to the original formula." (Tarshis 25). In the second article it says "New studies have linked high-sugar diets to a host of other terrifying diseases too--Diabetes, cancer, heart disease, obesity, high blood pressure, and stroke. Sugar may also contribute to depression, tiredness, and learning and memory issues (not so great on the day of a big test).”

Rocks: Students learn about rocks through the use of a film. The student uses a white board to take notes, and organizes notes with the use of a graphic organizer.

Today I was given a set of poems to read and choose one to analyze. I decided I would use Big Rock Candy Mountain as my poem of choice. I recognize this poem as a song written by Harry McClintock in 1928. The song is one of the few that can still make sense in today’s culture and society and in my opinion is the mark of a truly great writer.

Your dad expects a lot of you on the field but you're just not there yet what would you do?

I am sure we have all seen or heard about taffy. What I would think would come to mind to most people when I would say something regarding taffy might be something concerning saltwater taffy. I love saltwater taffy. It seems that it is not in great supply around here. The only place I know of is somewhere like the cracker barrel. Needless to say I never go to cracker barrel, and it is a little more than I feel comfortable spending on candy. So I find myself resorting to a childhood favorite, laffy taffy. It is sold everywhere, and it is very inexpensive. I really started to like it when I played baseball as a kid. After the game I would always try to pump mom or dad for a few cents to stock up. It never made it home. I would somehow eat my entire entire stockpile. Whoever came up with the idea of putting jokes inside the wrapper is a very rich man. I could not help but to try to unwrap one more. The way the jokes where printed on the wrapper was very smart too. They would put one joke half way on the wrapper so it made me want to know the end of the joke, genius really.

Most hard candy is consisted of sugar, corn syrup, water, and flavoring. You heat the ingredients together and boil the mixture to get off all of the water. Then, you let the temperature rise. The temperature that the hard candy is heated at is 300 degrees Fahrenheit. After the temperature is raised, you are left with is a pure sugar syrup.

Warheads are the King of candy because of the sour punch covering the outside of the candy.For example,self proclaimed world’s best candy expert Willy Warhead stated in a recent tweet that,”The extreme sour coating of the Warhead blows the sour patch kids’ “sour coating” out of the water “ This explains that how sour a candy is can make or break your candy.Also candyland.com made it apparent that “Warheads’ sour level is only rivaled by a spoonful of citric acid.”This shows that
