Salt Crystal Experiment Worksheet
What you do (Dry out, crystals in): 1. An adult pours warm water into a cup. 2. Stir in salt, a spoon at a time, until no more dissolves. 3. Pour the salty water into a shallow dish and lay a string in it. 4. Leave it on a sunny windowsill, out of reach of small children, and check each day.
