## The story

Patience Crystals promised a science lesson and delivered a test of willpower. You dissolved the sugar in hot water with a grown-up's help, hung the strings in the jar, and waited. And waited. Every morning you checked for crystals. By week two, the window sill held a sticky jar of glittering purple rock candy and one very proud scientist.

## Fun fact

At least one sibling in every house tried to eat the crystals on day three, and the arguments that followed were historic.
