Crystal Gardern

Snow has made us think about crystals.  We've read lots of books about snow and crystals.  From reading about "Snowflake" Bentley we learned that most snow crystal have 6 arms but some only have 3.  We've made our own snowflakes and written snow stories and poems.


We decided to see if we could grow our own crystals.  We used charcoal, ammonia, bluing, salt, and water to start.








The white on the charcoal are the crystals growing.
