Growing Crystals

GROWING CRYSTALS Crystal is a solid material formed with atoms and molecules that are arranged in a consistent repeating pattern. This gives a definite shape to the crystals. Some of the crystals which are expensive are known to us like amethysts or diamonds. Do you wonder how crystals are found right in your kitchen? Yes, in the form of salt and sugar. Crystals can be easily grown by adding a crystal-forming chemical to water and waiting for the water to cool or evaporate. Growing crystals is really a fun experiment for kids. They enjoy growing crystals in different and learn their science along the way. Let's see a few ways to grow crystals at home and engage kids with fun learning. Epsom Salt: Epsom salt is inexpensive and readily available in the pharmacy or craft store. It accepts food color as well if you want to grow colorful needle-like crystals. It is non-toxic and crystals can be grown in a few minutes to an hour when the liquid is refrigerated. Clic...

Borax Pipe Cleaner Hanging Crystals

Borax Pipe Cleaner Hanging Crystals It is a very interesting and fun activity of growing crystals with the chemical called Borax. Borax is a chemical sold in the market as a laundry booster or an insecticide. It does not accept food coloring. You can also use a pipe cleaner, bend it into fun shapes (stars, flowers, hearts, and more), and dip it into the borax solution overnight. You can see the crystal grow in the fun shape of pipe cleaners and get colorful crystals growing with the color of pipe cleaners. Required material: pan with a wide mouth Borax Pipe cleaners Water Tablespoon String Scissors Food coloring (optional) Methods to Grow Hanging Crystals Twist the pipe cleaners with your desired shape (like a star, flower, or any shape you desire) Take a wide-mouth pan such that the pipe cleaner easily fits into the jar with plenty of shape around it. (if not it will become harder to remove once the crystals are formed) Tie one end of the string into the shape of a pi...

Sugar Candy Crystals

Rock Candy Crystal Want to make some tasty fun crystals? Here is how you can make sugar or rock candy crystals. Engage your kids with this fun activity and grow some cool crystals. Sugar crystals or rock candy is really interesting and is non-toxic and safe to eat but requires adults' assistance to prepare it. As sugar readily accepts food coloring. But it grows as crystals very slowly it will often take a week to grow crystals. Material Required: Sugar ( 1 1/2 cup of white sugar) 1 cup of water Small plate Spoon Glass Pop sticks Food coloring Some small clean jar Waxed paper Method to Grow Candy Crystals 1. Take some water into a glass, take some sugar on a small plate and sheet of wax paper 2. Dip one end of the stick in water, roll it on the sugar plate and place it on the waxed paper to dry. 3. Now take a cup of water and add 1/2 cup of sugar to the pan and stir it well until no more sugar can dissolve. (Add more sugar if required until yo...

Alum Crystals

Alum Crystals It is very interesting to create gem-like crystals. You can also grow a large crystal using a seed crystal. Let's see how to do it: Materials Required • Alum (It is usually found in the spice section of the grocery store) • Clean jar • Saucer or shallow dish • Pencil • Fishing line (or something similar) Method To Grow Crystal: 1. Add Alum to a 1/4 cup of hot water in a jar. Stir it completely until it dissolves completely. 2. Keep adding Alum until no more of it dissolves to prepare a saturated solution. 3. Take a small amount of saturated solution into a shallow dish. Make sure that only a clear solution is taken or the undissolved salt is filtered. 4. After a day you could see the small crystals growing in the dish. Once crystals are of good size, pour the off excess solution. 5. Take one crystal of good size and good looking as a seed crystal. 6. Prepare another saturated solution with 1/2 cup of hot water and filter it into a clear ...

Epsom salt crystal

Quick Crytal With Epsom Salt There are different ways to grow crystals some crystal growing methods even take many days to get results.
