| For our first project, Mayra and I made borax crystals. We first researched and gathered all of our materials. After that we tied and weaved pipe cleaners together so that the crystals had something to grow on, we then tied them to string which was attached to a stick so they were able to hang. We then filled our breakers with water and food coloring and let the water boil. When the water was boiled we added the borax. Unfortunately we didn't put enough borax and after waiting a day we got only a couple of small crystals. The mistake we made was adding the food coloring before the borax and because we added it first we weren't able to see that we didn't put enough and our solution wasn't very cloudy. We then decided to try again the next day and put the food coloring after the borax. |
