A/ Saturated solution made deposits on string. / S. will observe what has happened to their sugar solution and describe what began the process of crystallization and what allowed crystals to grow in size and amounts.
Lab Report
HW: Ch 3 Review pg. 104-105 / Q/How are the rock candy similar to the mineral crystallization e learned about in class?
A/ they both come from the deposition of solutions saturated with salts (sugar), when water evaporates from the solution.
