Look at them under your magnifying glass and record what you see.

These are the four powders we will be using. Upload a photo of each powder.

Then after that we got to put the Iodine then the sugar when really hard then when we put the water it when doughy. The salt was also crystal and the texture is also the same as the sugar and the smell was sour.
