Title
Sugar Crystals

Problem Scenario
Does light effect the growth of sugar crystals?

Hypothesis
The crystal with the most light will grow the most.

Independent Variable:
Light

Dependent Variable:
Amount of growth

Variables That Need To Be Controlled:
Sugar Crystals

Vocabulary List That Needs Explanation
Sugar Crystals: Informal term for a class of edible crystalline carbohydrates, mainly sucrose, lactose, and fructose.

General Plan
I am going to get a sugar crystal kit and I am going to make 3 of them one of them is going to be completely covered in light, another one is going to be halfway under light and the 3rd one is going to be not under any light.

Potential Problems And Solutions
Some potenial problems would be that sugar crystals will not grow, a solution to this would be to find a different way to grow them still using my question.

Safety Or Environmental Concerns
Some safety or environmental concerns would be that

Experimental Design
(add the correct headings from the experimental design page before beginning)

Resources and Budget Table

 * Item || Number needed || Where I will get this || Cost ||
 * Sugar Cyrstals Materials || 1 || At the store || $15.00 ||
 * Lights/Lamp || 3 || At home || $0.00 ||

Detailed Procedure
1. Get all the materials 2. Set up 3 test subjects 3. Collect data every week until fully grown 4.
 * 1 that is totally cover with light
 * 1 that is half way covered
 * 1 that has no light at all
