For some reason no crystals have formed in the sugar jar. There looks like there is some collection on the bottom, but no formation. Salt one is growing though.
The trials and errors of a home educating family finding our own way and getting saner by the day!

Hi - Thanks for wanting to share your ideas & comments! I love hearing what others have to say, but just so that everyone is aware, I have the right and option to decide to post a comment or not. Foul language, inappropriate comments, lashing out at the world, or posting irrelevant ad links are a few reasons why posts may be rejected. My daughter & her friends like to frequently see what is being posted so therefore I would like to keep it clean.
I also have a tendency to reject "Anonymous" posts as I feel the content is not verifiable, therefore is often either irrelevant or not viable.
If your comment has been accepted - it will generally appear in less than 24 hours! Thanks Gina
Borax does AMAZINGLY beautiful crystals :) Not sure if you want crystals in general or have a specific reason for the salt and sugar. Either way we had great success with the Borax and they were huge and formed in hours.
ReplyDeleteGood luck :)
Thanks -
ReplyDeleteWe have used Borax before to make crystals, but used the sugar and salt because it was I had in the house at the moment. See - http://fairiemom78.blogspot.com/2011/02/piquing-interest-in-learning.html
Take Care,
