Watching Crystals Grow

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Amazing science can sometimes happen right before your eyes! The class gets cozy as they watch crystals grow. They use Epsom salts, rocks, and food coloring to create crystals. They'll observe the entire process, documenting every step of the way. The lesson includes some very good questions to spur on the inquiry process.
