Place the jar in a warm spot and let the magic happen! Watch as beautiful crystals bloom on the string.
Gazinta Tip: It's not just a crystal garden; it's a sparkly masterpiece in the making! Discuss the science behind crystal formation with your little scientists. Experiment with growing other substances, including borax and salt, and see how the crystals differ.
Experiment #2: Colorful Celery Soiree
Ingredients:
Celery stalks with leaves
Water
Food coloring
Procedure:
Fill a glass with water and add a few drops of food coloring.
Submerge the base of the celery stalk in the colored water.

Gazinta Tip: It's not just celery; it's a canvas for nature's watercolor show! Dive into discussions about plant anatomy and how water travels through the stem.
Experiment #3: Fizzing Rainbow Eruptions
Ingredients:
Baking soda
Vinegar
Food coloring
Dish soap
Containers or muffin tin
Eyedropper or spoon
Procedure:
Place baking soda in each container or muffin tin section.
