Aim: To learn about a saturated solution and how to make crystals

Definition of solution:

A liquid mixture, when something is dissolved into a liquid (eg: sugar in water)

Definition of saturated:

Having or holding as much as can be absorbed of something (when no more sugar or borax can be dissolved into the water)

In groups of three you will make three different types of crystals and compare the results.

Borax Crystals

Ratio; 3 Tablespoons Borax per 1/2 cup water

Materials

1)cop

2)popsicle stick

3)borax

4)pipe cleaner

5)warm water

Process

Step 1:grab a cup

Step 2:pot the water

Step 3:pot the borax

Step 4:You will mix the popsicle stick

Step 5:then you pot the pipe cleaner  in the cop

Step 6:stay the cop to make the crystals

Sugar Crystals

Ratio: 1 cup sugar to 1/2 cup water

Materials

1)cup

2)spoon

3) string

4)warm water

5)popsicle stick

Process

Step 1:yous the cop

Step 2:pot the sugar in your cop

Step 3:then mix it your cop

Step 4:You pot the string your cop

Step 5: tai to the middle of the popsicle stick

Step 6: tai a pipe cleaner on to the and of the tring

Salt Crystals

Ratio: 4 Tablespoons salt to 1/2 cup water

Materials

1)cup

2)warm water

3)salt

4)popsicle stick

5)string

Process

Step 1:get cup

Step 2:pot the warm water

Step 3:Yous popsicle stick and Mix the salt in to the cup  

Step 4:pot the string in your cup

Step 5:pot the pipe cleaner in the cup

Step 6:pot all the way in your cup

Findings

Describe your crystals in the table below.

Crystal Type	Shape (Describe the shape)	Size (of individual crystals)	Hardness (Crumbly to Rock Hard)
Borax	tiny cubes and square	small	hard soft
Sugar	long square	top big small	sticky soft
Salt	little cubes	little bit	little sharps

CRYSTAL TYPES

AIM: TO LOOK AT THE 7 DIFFERENT TYPES OF CRYSTALS

Salt Crystals

Sugar Crystals

Borax Crystals

7 different crystal shapes

The 7 types of crystals

Type	Number of sides	2 examples	Image
Triclinic Definition:	7	the Triclinic like salt forming or something.
Monoclinic Definition:	10	Monoclinic like di same crystal sugar like forming in to like that.
Orthombic Definition:	6
Trigonal Definition:	12	the Trigonal I
Hexagonal Definition:	8
Cubic Definition:	6 sides	E:G: It looked like the sugar crystal. It looked like ice when you put then in water.
Tetragonal Definition:	12

Explain how the following crystals are formed?

Type	That day formed like big and different shape
Salt	The salt was forming in like cubic and triclinic just like that.
Sugar	the sugar was a nice if make the crystal then the formed was big
Snowflakes	snowflakes if day formed and cold
