Grow dozens of dazzling crystals and conduct
15 illuminating experiments with this classic
science kit. Experiment with four chemically
different crystals each with different properties,
including potassium alum crystals that
form regular octahedrons, rapidly growing
sodium sulfate crystals, long needle-shaped
sodium acetate crystals, and plaster which is
made from gypsum crystals.
Mold fun plaster shapes, including stars,
lightning bolts, dolphins, and pyramids, and
grow layers of crystals on them. Use dyes to
form colored crystals, and mix the dyes to
grow a rainbow of custom colored crystals.
Display your crystal creations in a clear
treasure chest with a locking lid. Mold your
own geode — a hollow rock with crystals
growing inside — and create a beautiful crystal
cavern inside.
Experiment with growing crystals rapidly
and slowly, and observe how that affects the
crystal structures. See if you can grow one
giant crystal, and many small crystals on the
surface of a rock.
Measure how the crystallization of solids
out of a solution, and the dissolution of crystals
back into solution, affect the temperature
of the solution. Learn about the energy of
crystallization. Investigate solutions, crystallization,
and the chemistry of crystal growing.
Learn about the structures and geometries of
different crystal shapes.
This kit is thoroughly tested and safe: Over
one million units of this kit have sold worldwide.
A full-color, 32-page experiment manual
guides your experiments in crystal chemistry
and Earth science.
