Hi, I am 11 years old. I just did an experiment trying to grow crystals. I 
can make them with granulated sugar but not confectioners or brown sugar. 
Did I do something wrong? All expierments were done the same way. I can't 
find anything I can understand on the difference of these kids of sugars 
and how they are made differrent. Thank you!!!!!
