On Wednesday Mrs A took a group of kids to make crystals. The group included Shayla, Jade, Dylan, Erica, Lexi, Nevaeh and Nicklaus.
First we got the rotten smelling jars. As we were smelling the jars Dylan nearly pucked when he smelt Mr A's jar of pickled onions.
Next we had to get a teaspoon and salt. We sprinkled the salt on a big plate. We all had to squash the big lumps of salt on the plate. Once we did that we poured the hot water in the jars and we had to saturate the jar with salt. The teachers came around to check if it was a milky lemonade colour, that was what we were hoping it would be.
After that we choose a piece of rock salt to tie on to the string. Once we did that we tied the string onto a popsicle stick. Finally we hung it across the top of the jar with the string hanging in the water and carefully put it on the windowsill.
