Hi Cole, this is a great blog! You went into good detail in your method about how you completed this experiment. You were really specific in your steps, someone else could give this a go. Also your comment about learning growing crystals was separating a solution showed your understanding. Next time could you please update you blog once after you let the experiment rest for a week. Please publish all your blogs, thank you.
ReplyDeleteHey Cole,
ReplyDeleteThis looks like an interesting experiment. Thanks for sharing the method - I will be careful to not add too much water... I wonder how did yours turn out? Did you get to eat it at the end?
Look forward to hearing from you,
Miss Morgan
