TEEN HOUR: DIY Borax Crystals

🧪 What’s the Experiment?

Using the power of supersaturated solutions, you’ll learn the chemistry behind crystal nucleation. But this isn’t just a lab—it’s a design studio.

Shape Your Style: Use pipe cleaners to twist together any shape you can imagine—geometric stars, your initials, or even miniature enchanted trees.

The Crystal Bath: Learn the exact ratios needed to create a hot borax solution that will grow crystals overnight.

Pigment & Glow: Experiment with colors to give your crystals a custom look, from deep amethyst purples to neon greens.

Note: Science takes time! You’ll prep your project at the library, let it sit in our growth chamber overnight, and come back the next day to harvest your finished, sparkling creation.
