  • Steven Universe’s “Crystal Gem” Candy Recipe / Experiment

Week Two of Camp Warner Bros. is here and this week we have a SWEET science experiment that the kids will love. We will be making Crystal Gem candy to celebrate the release of Steven Universe: The Movie.

Enter to win a copy of the movie at the bottom of this post! 

After so many harrowing adventures, Steven and the Gems are ready to celebrate how far they’ve come with a movie musical! Little do they know they’re about to face their worst enemy yet. 

Steven Universe: The Movie is now available to own on Digital, Blu-ray & DVD.

Crystal Gem CandySave the Earth and bring peace to your galaxy with Steven Universe’s “Crystal Gem” Candy recipe. This recipe/experiment requires adult supervision because you’ll be handling hot liquids. I also want to preface this experiment with a disclaimer that we have tried to grow rock candy before with no success. This is a touch on to get just right. Even making the recipe below we only had two successful crystal growths out of four. 

The Science Behind The Fun:

As time passes (and the solution cools), the water will slowly evaporate from the solution. As the water evaporates, the solution will become more saturated with sugar. The sugar molecules will collect on the string, and the candy crystals will grow molecule by molecule!

Extra Science Fun:

Try making two jars of candy. In the first jar – seed your “Crystal Gem” Candy by rolling your string in water and sugar. In the second jar do not seed your string with sugar before growing. Determine if using seed sugar crystals changes the growth rate of your “Crystal Gem” Candy!

We made our Crystal Gem Candy a little different because I had the materials to put them on sticks and also flavor them. We used flavor extracts in each of them. Aside from the sticks and extract, everything else is the same.

    Firebird
    really liked it
    Firebird is a solid dark romantasy read. You have dragon-shifter political leaders of Rome. A witch who I don’t think we have seen the full extent of her power yet. There were so many little side stories told that I believe our FMC will ...
    Sunrise on the Reaping
    it was amazing
    Oh Haymich, my heart is shattered for you. This was the perfect bridge between The Ballard of Songbirds and Snakes and Catching Fire. Linking the wickedness of The Hunger Games with the victors who came together to end them. If Suzanne C...

    liked it
    This was a sweet romance read. I really enjoyed the audiobook narrators (Joshua Manning and Stina Nielsen). I don’t usually read books that fall into the religious category, but I’m a sucker for Scots and Irishman so that is why I wanted...
    My Demon Hunter
    really liked it
    I am thoroughly enjoying the Hell Bent series. My Demon Hunter was even better than My Funny Demon Valentine. I’m a sucker for demonology stories, and these are filled with all kinds of interesting characters. This one features a plus-si...
