Want to know how to make salt crystal feathers? The salt crystal feathers experiment teaches how to make salt crystals with science. We made our crystals on feathers, but you can use any object with a rough surface. Of all the crystal experiments we’ve made, we absolutely love this one using salt to cover feathers …
Which soil is best for growing plants? How do we know? If your students are involved with a science fair, it’s ideal that the experiments you do have variables and can potentially even solve a real-world problem. Help kids complete the which soil is best for growing plants science project using these steps. For this …
We love quick science demonstrations that can quickly illustrate scientific concepts. One of our favorite instant ice experiments is making frost in a jar (if you don’ t have a jar, you can also make frost in a can). We love doing this activity as a winter STEM activity, because we don’t get a lot …
These salt crystal leaves are the perfect fall science experiment, and cleverly mimic the appearance of frost on a fall leaf. Kids will love this fall twist on your crystal experiments.
