Crystal Lab

Salt and Water - Big crystals, this is why our cars rust in the Winter.

Corn Syrup, Sugar, and Water - Smaller crystals, sort of syrupy, not fully crystallized. It looks like the candy rock sticks you can buy at the store and eat. 

Salt, Water, and Blue Mixture all over Charcoal - We put the mixture on the charcoal last week and ours looks furry but other people used Salt, Water, Blue Mixture, and Ammonia and there's grew a lot more than ours did. They have large crystals that stick up a lot and ours sort of lays flat.  

This lab was used to show us how to make different crystal structures and help us to observe the process. Different ingredients added in different ways at different times completely change how the crystals are made.

After waiting another week, the crystals look very similar to they did last week.
