Grade+9-+Crystal+competititon

Grade nine students are working on their alum crystals.

Some are pursuing it very diligently and show up everyday at lunch time to check their crystals.... and a few have given up as their crystals are hard to tie:( I am fascinated by the questions some of the students ask.

Initially what seemed to be a BIG ordeal, is slowly developing into a ritual as the students are slowly mastering the process of filtration, warming, making a clear saturated solution!

The following crystals were picked to represent our school at the Regional Crystal Competition ( Nov. 12, 2011)
