Borax makes it easy for your kids to experiment and grow crystals of their very own! Let’s experiment for Valentine’s Day and ...

A crystal is a solid formed by a repeating 3D arrangement of atoms, ions or molecules. Nature’s snowflakes form when tiny droplets of water freeze in clouds at temperatures below 31 F (0 C). These ...

When you put the borax in boiling water it dissolved. The particles settle on the bottom of the jar and the pipe cleaner. When the water cools the borax goes back to its natural state. Why is each ...

As winter firmly takes hold, this fun science project is a great way to spend a cold afternoon inside. Use pipe cleaners to create custom snowflake shapes or long, straight icicles that will magically ...

As the borax settles out, it bonds with other borax. It does this on “nucleation sites” (cracks, bumps or a pipe cleaner) and begins to form crystals. The crystals come together on the bottom and ...
