Crystal snowflakes • Problem – I really miss the snow and as a result I want to make snowflake ornaments!
Crystal Snowflakes Procedure • Begin to boil water • Create shape with pipe cleaner • Tie pipe cleaner shape to popsicle stick using string • Carefully pour hot water into plastic bottle • Mix ¼ cup of borax into hot water • Add food coloring (optional) • Carefully place pipe cleaner shape into the bottle • Wait overnight for crystallization
But how? • Super saturation • Pipe Cleaner in the solution acts as a rough surface that the borax can attach to • Creates crystals on the pipe cleaner
