4M Crystal Growing Kit

The 4M Crystal Growing Kit gives children the opportunity to learn about solubility while creating an impressive crystalized formation that will measure approximately two inches in diameter and one and a half inches high when done. Crystals require a special aquatic environment to grow, so preparation of the growing jar is essential for solid crystal growth. To create a real crystal, children will go through the process of mixing a specialized, saturated solution with the included bag of crystals and the growth inducing seeding mixture. This crystal growing kit for kids even includes a clear container in which to grow the crystals, so children will have nearly everything they need to watch the gradual expansion and growth of the crystal seeds in the specialized solution.

Growing crystals with this crystal growing kit only requires a few simple steps. Detailed fold-out instructions provide step-by-step guidance with easy to understand illustrations. Children will be able to see exactly what they are required to do in order to create the best looking crystal display. Illustrations show kids when to add each ingredient, when to stir, and how long to wait for the magic crystals to begin appearing, while the instructions also include a section explaining the science behind crystal formation. Kids will learn about the chemical reaction involved in creating the saturated solution, why a saturated solution is necessary, and how the particles in the water behave when forming back together in crystalized form. No crystal grows in the same way, so each 4M Crystal Growing Kit gives each child a truly unique formation.
