Growing small crystals

Materials:

1 glass slide

1 test tube

1 dropper

1 bottle of mucilage glue

Magnesium sulfate

Put 3 ml of water into the test tube

Add enough magnesium sulfate to make saturated solution

Add a drop of glue, and stir until the glue is dissolved

Using the dropper put enough of the solution on the glass slide to cover it completely.

Wait a few minutes and the child will see the crystals start to form.

Place the glass slide on the windowsill and allow to dry
