Growing crystals at home

Alum crystals are easy and beautiful. Dissolve alum in hot water, hang a seed crystal on a string, wait a week. Stunning results!

Took me a while to wrap my head around this but it makes total sense now.

Virtual dissection software and 3D models for families who prefer not to use real specimens. Just as educational!

Does this work for everyone or just certain setups? Asking because my situation is a bit different.

Red cabbage pH indicator, density towers with household liquids, balloon-powered cars. All with stuff from your kitchen.

Quick question: does this apply to the newer version too or just the old one?

Can you explain more about this? I am a newbie and want to understand better.

Volcano that actually teaches chemistry

Beyond the baking soda volcano: explain acid-base reactions, measure gas production, test different ratios. Turn a demo into a lesson.

I asked the same thing in another group and got way worse answers. You all rock.

Solid advice. Been doing it the hard way for years - this is so much better.
