Problem Scenario
I want to find out if adding color crystals, effects the growth

**Broad Question**

Specific Question?
If color is added to sugar crystals what impact will that have on growth rates?

Hypothesis
if i add color to the growing sugar crystals it will increase the growth rate.

Independent Variable:
food coloring

Dependent Variable:
length of crystals

Variables That Need To Be Controlled:
jar with no color same amount of water same of sugar same amount of coloring being added.

General Plan

 * Where will you conduct this experiment? If not at school where are you going to put your experiment so that it doesn't bother anyone, you can assure it won't be disrupted by pets or babies, and it will be safe from changes in temperature or movement?
 * What will you actually be doing? For example, measuring something, timing something...
 * What are some potential problems you may encounter and how will you solve them?
 * What are the safety and environmental concerns?

Potential Problems And Solutions
.I have to put the right amount of food coloring i put in and water and i have to put the right amount of sugar in each one.

Safety Or Environmental Concerns
there is none

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 ||
 * food coloring || 5 || mr groves || 0 ||
 * water || 1 || sink || 0 ||
 * sugar || 3 cups of sugar || my house || 0 ||
 * sticks || 5 || store || 1.00 ||

Detailed Procedure
1. fill five cups with 2 cups of water 2.Boil the water 3. mix 4 cups of sugar into each cup 4 put 10 drops of food coloring in all but one cup 4. then mix it together and wait for it to dissolve 5. when it dissolves it is done boiling and then you turn the burner off and then you let it sit out for a few days until they turn into rocks.
