Crystals

Truthfully I don't remember what sparked this experiment.  One day we decided to make crystals.

The kids made some shapes out of pipe cleaners while...

I gathered an array of crystal forming ingredients.

Oh my goodness!  The excitement for this experiment is overwhelming.  Memories in the making.



So 22 days later I get around to documenting the results.  Sydney's hypothesis was correct.  If you want to make crystals, use borax.  Do not use sugar.  Salt was ok but took more than 2 weeks for the water to evaporate.
