This unique kit is an easy way to grow great crystals every time! The special crystal growing papers and dishes control the rate of evaporation from a solution to maximize crystal growing conditions. The kit includes ten papers, four dishes, copper sulfate, potassium ferricyanide, and instructions--everything you need to grow beautiful red and blue crystals! Reuse the dishes with extra papers and household chemicals to grow other types of crystals.

The chemicals in this kit can be harmful if misused. Use only under adult supervision. Ages 13 & up.

Want to use this kit for a science fair project? See our experiment ideas below to get you started.

Kit Contents

  • Copper II (cupric) sulfate, 30 g
  • Crystal Growing Dishes, 4/pack
  • Crystal Growing Kit Instructions
  • Crystal Growing Papers, 10/pack
  • Potassium ferricyanide, 30 g

    You can also buy replacement crystal growing papers and dishes for this kit.

    Science Fair Project Ideas:

    • Do crystals grow better when more or less solution is used?
    • Does temperature have an effect on the growth rate of crystals? What about leaving them covered or uncovered? Does dry air or moist air seem to grow more crystals?
    • What happens if you use Epsom in one dish, and table salt in another? Does one chemical solution produce more crystals than any other?

    Great fun!

    This was all it promised to be. We even had a wonderful time looking at the crystals under a microscope and drawing pictures of them. The shapes were obvious to determine and so different that they were easy to classify. Even the little kids (ages 3-8), really enjoyed looking at them. To get the full effect look at them under a microscope. We saved them and still look at them occasionally. I highly recommend this for one of those off days when you need some low-key educational fun.

    Crystal Growing Kit
     
    My daughter loved mixing and measuring then watching the daily changes to the crystals. The only problem was the fact that she wanted to hold the crystals when they were finished. I think we will try the crystal growing kit that makes rock candy from sugar next! At least she will be able to handle and EAT those.
