Make amazing crystals yourself and recreate a magical country from your favorite cartoon. All this with a set for growing crystals Cold Heart 2 Disney 4M
Options
Dry mixture for growing crystals, blue dye, mixing spoon, crystal base, adhesive tape, glass for preparing the mixture, transparent dome, stand, thematic stickers.
The instructions for the set recommend the help of adults in the stage of creating crystals. Precautions are taken regarding the handling of dye and powder for crystals.
How to make
Take 200 ml of hot water and pour into a mixing bowl. Add the contents of a large packet (mixture for crystals) to the water. Stir until all the powder has dissolved.
Take a small bag of dye. Add the dye to the solution with a clean dry spoon. Mix well. Wait 15 minutes until the solution has cooled in the bowl to about 40 degrees.
Pour the solution into a mixing bowl that will be used to grow crystals. Temperature above 20 degrees Celsius is required for proper crystal growth. The crystal will grow in 5 days, but due to low temperatures it can happen in a month.
Pour out the remnants of the solution after the process of growing the crystal. Remove it gently from the bowl with a spoon.
Rinse the crystal with fresh water for a few seconds. Do not wash the crystal for too long, otherwise it will dissolve in water. Allow the crystal to dry on a dry cloth.
When the crystal is completely dry, place it on a stand and cover with a transparent lid to protect it from moist air. Decorate the dome with themed stickers with cartoon characters.
How it works
When you add a crystalline compound to hot water, it breaks down into tiny particles in the water. These particles are too small to see them.
A liquid is called a powder solution or a saturated solution. Because if you add more powder, it will not dissolve. The water evaporates slowly, and the particles remain and combine. Crystals with straight edges and flat faces are produced.
Development
Fundamentals of chemistry, thinking, attentiveness, patience, imagination, invention, aesthetic taste, emotional well-being.
Disney chemistry experiment kits are suitable for children 10-12 years for classes under adult supervision. Can be used as part of the STEAM educational approach. The developmental kit gives the child the opportunity to touch science on their own experience, to show their abilities.
