Take Two

After a ridiculously subpar parenting performance this morning, yours truly is trying to make up for it by doing science in the kitchen with my little man.  Crystal growing at its finest right here, folks!

My accomplice in his super studly goggles.

 

 

Phase 1: Dissolve the colored chemical powder in boiling water.

 

Phase 2: Add small rocks to the bottom of container for the crystals to grow on.

 Phase 3: Pour mixture over the rocks and then sprinkle with "seed crystals" to start everything growing.  Then wait.....

 

Our blue batch from earlier this year, to keep our hopes up that this one will work, too:)

 

 

One happy junior scientist!
