Crystal Growth Activity

Our crystal mixture consisted 2 tablespoons of salt, 2 tablespoons of water, 2 tables spoons of blueing, and 2 tablespoons of ammonia. We also added a little bit of red food coloring to our mixture. We then cut our crystal absorbent material to make it into a structure to hold the crystals. The next two pictures are what our mixture and absorbent structure looked like when we left them on Tuesday.



This is a picture of what our cup looked like when we returned to class on Thursday.


Something about our structure must have been optimal for crystal growing because ours appeared to have the most crystals as well as the most over flow.
