The easiest thing to do would be to first filter the solution, removing the charcoal, and then boil off the water and see if anything is left. Other reasonable answers are also fine. For example, some students have suggested that they would isolate the charcoal and weigh it to see if its original weight had increased by the amount of brown sugar used.
