Planting Crystals Day 3

Today was the last time we will make a blog post about my crystal garden.
In my crystal garden many things have happened since when i have planted them, like that my crystals have grown in a big form. I have obsereved the crystals from planting to now, which is two weeks. The crystals best grown in an cup which was filled with water, therefore the crystals grew perfeclty in it, but there were some places where crystals grew almost no crystals. My worst place in my garden was on soli, I have planted crystals on bare soil, but non grew, so i have put sand on one part of my garden where then i have planted crystals on the sand where the crystals grew good. I have used all of the solutions including: Salt solution, sugar solution, Borax, and MAP. The best crystals grew of salt solution, which grew in a cup filled with water. On the other hand the most difficult crystals have grown on bare soil which there solution was borax they didnt even grow on the soil, but when I have put sand on the soil and poured again the solution it grew quite well.
Conclusion: So as I can see, This project went successful but if I had again a chance to do this project I would choose carefuly places where to plant crystals.

Day Three in the Crystal garden

On day three there were no significant changes in my crystal garden; everything stayed the same since 10 days ago. Yet,there were some little changes like: the salt crystals grew a little bit more and the borax crystals grew a little bit more as well. All in all, crystal growing was a success but not to the extant I was hoping for. Crystals didn't grow well because the growing surface was not good enough. I planted crystals on a different surfaces such as: stone, soil, and plants. The crystals which were planted on plants grew the best; the least crystals grew on soil. To conclude, this project went quite well, but there are always some things to improve or work on more. I needed to create my garden in a better way, by placing materials which would trigger crystals growth in a more efficient way. One of my peers, whose name is Stefan, had used trees made out of sponge, which had soaked most of the formula that he had sprinkled in his garden, therefore his crystals became the best in the class.

Mondeling Mantle Convection Currents

In science class we had to do a lab which is called " Modeling Mantle Convection Currents". This lab was about to model the earths mantle in water and how volcanoes form and erupt. There was a lot of process to do while the lab. First we collected materials which were: Play dough, hot water, cold water, aluminum foil, rubber band, food coloring, a big bottle ( gallon bottle), and a small glass beaker. Now let me tell you the process, First we filled the Gallon with cold water, then we filled the beaker with hot water and colored the water with food coloring and closed the beaker with aluminum foil and after wards we placed the beaker in the cold water and poked 1-2 holes in the foil and green hot water started to float out from the beaker and we have also put some paper circles in the cold water which were pushed by the warm water which was coming out of the beaker. This lab was supposed to show us how underwater volcanoes work
