Growing Borax crystals is easy, inexpensive and entertaining. Whether you are in need of an easy science project for kids or just looking for a rainy day activity, this project fits the bill. Best of all, you can perform this science experiment with a few ingredients from your cupboard. Ben...
After digging around in our science cabinet the other day, I found the old box of dolomite rocks, which are the base for these aragonite crystals. And there were still about 20 rocks in there, just waiting to grow crystals on them! Without further ado, I’d like to introduce you to ar...
If you have floating sediment (common if using impure Epsom salt), you can pour the liquid through a coffee filter to remove it. Use the liquid to grow the crystals and discard the coffee filter. Pour the mixture over a piece of sponge (optional) or into a shallow container. You need ...
more likely to get a perfect crystal instead of a mass of crystals if you allow the crystal to grow slowly (cooler temperature, shaded location) in a place free of vibrations. Don't store the project near a window because temperature fluctuations will alternately grow and dissolve crystals. ...
Have you ever wondered why some bubbles seem to pop right away while others seem to last forever? In this project, you will explore what brands of soap create the longest lasting (and most bubbly) bubbles. You will need four different brands of detergent or soap, water, four straws and ...
Evaporation is an important science concept that helps in growing crystals. As the process of evaporation is slow, it takes a longer time for crystals to grow. Crystals are solid and rigid substances formed by packing molecules intact in different patterns. As a result, they can shape themselves...
While it's fine for young explorers to tackle a simple model volcano, if you want to make the volcano a better science project, you'll want to add thescientific method. Here are some ideas for different ways to experiment with a baking soda volcano: ...
Why not grow sugar crystals or make edible geodes! Explore the layers of soil with simple LEGO bricks and with an edible soil layers model. See tectonic plates in action with this hands-on project. Grab some colored sand and glue for this fun layers of the earth activity. Learn about how...
Take your white pipe cleaners and weave them together to make a random somewhat round shape, this will be the skeleton for your crystals to grow on. Take a piece of white string and tie it to one end of your web structure. Take a pencil or chopstick and hang your web from it. ...
