Everything needed to run the ARE Sugar Crystal Formation field guide as a hands-on lesson: six pre-seeded sticks, a thermometer, a supersaturation guide, food coloring (four colors), and a set of ARE-format specimen cards sized for the finished crystals. The lesson guide walks through nucleation, crystal habit, and growth rate — with a comparison table matching rock candy properties to quartz, halite, and calcite. Ideal for chapter youth nights, school visits, and any situation where you need to teach mineral crystallization to people who are about to get distracted. Age range: 8 and up. Adult supervision required during the hot-syrup preparation step.
