This experiment demonstrates how crystals form through a process called crystallization. You'll create a supersaturated solution and watch as beautiful crystal structures grow over several days, ...

Polishing the crystals to make them optically cleaner would be a good next step, as would perhaps growing even larger crystals.

If you’re interested in exploring crystal growth further, check out the results of the Royal Society of Chemistry’s 2014 Global Experiment. People all over the world tried growing crystals to ...

The rest of the process happens more or less naturally, as crystals begin to form in the saturated solution. And boy, did they grow — long, prismatic lime-green crystals, with a beautiful ...

Participants in the global experiment get the chance to investigate the properties of five widely available samples, ranging from sugar to Epsom salts, by dissolving, saturating and growing crystals.

Borax makes it easy for your kids to experiment and grow crystals of their very own! Let’s experiment for Valentine’s Day and make heart crystals Gather your kids around the table for this fun ...
