You know an experiment is a hit when the students gasp in awe! That's exactly what happened this morning when our 3rd grade Quest students checked on their homemade crystals. Yesterday, they created a supersaturated borax solution and submerged pipe cleaners hanging from a thread. The magic happened as the solution cooled, forming shiny crystals all over their pipe cleaners. It was a fantastic reminder that science can be beautiful and a lot of fun!
*Check out the video at the end to see how our crystals sparkle in the sun!
