premise: To make rock candy
hypothesis: Bring one cup of water to a boil in a saucepan and dissolve a quarter cup of white sugar into it, until no more will dissolve. Still eating and stirring, keep adding more sugar, stirring each time until it dissolves, until you've added three cups of sugar. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Dip a bamboo skewer into the solution, remove and roll in sugar. Pour the solution into a jar. Use a clothes pin to hold the skewer aloft over the solution with one end dipped thoroughly into it. Wait seven days for the rock candy to farm.
