Noticing Changes in Matter (class responce)

Recently in class we completed a lab on changes in matter. We took a sugar cube and wrote down our observations using all of our senses, including taste! After we wrote down the observations we looked at the sugar cube under a microscope. It looked like a bunch of snowflakes gathered up in a cube. Then we crushed the sugar cube until it was a powder. Afterwords we looked at the powder under the microscope, and it looked like crystals. We mixed the powder into a glass of water, and the sugar disolved inside the water. I thought this lab was a lot of fun, especially when I got to lick the sugar cube.
