﻿Holiday Ideas  Lots of students have been asking me for the instructions on how to grow salt crystals so heres what we did: Growing Salt Crystals (Using Pipe Cleaner) //Half Fill the Jug with Warm water.// //Start adding tablespoons of household salt to the water and stir.// //Keep adding more salt and stirring until no more salt will dissolve (you will know when this happens because you will see the salt fall to the bottom of the jar).// Hint – you may need to re make the saturated salt solution after a few weeks as it will evaporate and loose it effectiveness. Another way to grow a big salt crystal. When your pipe cleaner has some good sized crystals on it – carefully pull one off and tie it onto a piece of cotton (this is called a seed crystal). Then dangle your seed crystal into the saturated salt solution and watch it grow just remember to keep making new salt solutions and topping up your jar. //You can also use different kitchen substances to grow crystals like baking soda, salt etc – why not try adding some food coloring to your saturated solution I wonder if it will grow coloured crystals?//
 * 1) Using a jug make a saturated Salt Solution
 * 1) Make your pipe cleaner into a shape and then tie it onto a stick.
 * 2) Put your pipe cleaner into the saturated salt solution and watch the crystals grow.
