Every talented teacher knows that in order to teach a child something new, he must be interested. Today on sale you can find ready-made kits for creativity and entertaining experiences that can not only arouse interest in a child, but also keep him for a long time. Try to grow "magic" crystals at home - this experiment will bring a lot of pleasure not only to children, but also to their parents.

Home Crystallization Kits

Our parents did the experiment at school. Today, ready-made kits for conducting such an experiment can be found on sale. What are their advantages?

Using a ready-made kit, a child can not only grow "magic" crystals on their own. On sale you can find curly bases for crystallization, beautiful coasters, as well as a set of personal protective equipment for a young chemist. Often, the kit also contains a memo with a scientific explanation of the experiments and questions to test the knowledge acquired.

Complete set of young chemists

Each set of "Magic Crystals" contains reagents for conducting and the base on which they will be grown. Also, the package may contain a container for growing and sticks for stirring the solution. Expensive sets are sometimes also completed with an apron, gloves and glasses. These means of protection for the young experimenter are intended, of course, only to create an entourage. The crystal growing experience is completely safe.

On sale you can find sets with pebble or curly bases. For example, the option "Magic Crystals: Herringbone" looks very interesting. In this set, the whole process takes place on a base made in the form of a Christmas tree. As a result of the experiment, an interesting craft is obtained - a herringbone consisting of greenish crystals.

"Magic Crystals": instructions for growing at home

Before starting your entertaining exploration, read carefully the instructions for using all the components of the selected set. The standard work plan is as follows:

1. Place the crystallization base in a growing container.
2. Add hot water to the appropriate reagent.
3. Now powder can be added to the resulting solution for crystallization. It should be poured in so much so that undissolved grains remain. As soon as the active ingredient has stopped dissolving, you have a saturated solution. In this case, you should have a few grains of the reagent.
4. Then, pour the solution into a growing container so that the liquid completely hides the base. In this case, the sediment should remain in the original container.
5. Next, drop the remaining reagent grains onto the crystallization bases. These are the "seeds" from which your "magic" crystals will grow.

If, when pouring the solution, individual crystals surfaced on its surface, immediately remove them. Now all that remains is to remove the container to a safe place and leave it for a while. Cover the top with a piece of paper if the kit does not have a cover.

Crystal growth will begin almost immediately. Remember to keep an eye on the container. It is necessary to drain the solution as soon as one of the crystals appears on the surface. After that, you need to pull them all out and dry them for a day.

What to do with the grown crystal?

If you follow the instructions, the crystal will be beautiful and interesting. You can simply keep it as a keepsake or use it in some kind of craft. Crystallization on a figured base looks especially interesting. The finished product does not need additional decor and looks interesting and unusual in itself.

Safety in crystallization experiments

The instructions for the crystal growing kit usually say that children under 14 lei should conduct the experiment under the supervision of adults. Follow this simple rule, and the experience will only bring you positive emotions.

The reagents included in the kit are safe. But, of course, they cannot be tasted, and if they come into contact with the skin, they should be washed off immediately with water. Ready-made crystals are completely safe, they are strong enough, they can be taken in hand. Just try to avoid contact with water - liquid can ruin the result of your experience.

Price of crystallization kits at home

Now let's calculate how much it costs to grow a crystal at home. The cost of small sets intended for growing small elements is usually 150-200 rubles. Interesting sets, which include additional elements and curly bases, may have a higher price. For example, "Magic tree" (crystals grow here on the branches of the base) costs from 250 rubles.

Choose sets of your choice. If you wish, you can grow a whole collection of crystals of various shapes and colors with your own hands. The most important thing is to carefully study the instructions, since the kits may differ slightly in the configuration from different manufacturers.

In nature, real crystals grow for thousands of years, but with the help of the "Magic Crystals" set you can grow your crystal in a few days! This is a very interesting and entertaining activity that develops children's attentiveness, creativity and love of science. Watching the growth of the crystal every day, you will see how they change their shape and size, and at the end of their growth you will receive an extraordinary souvenir made by yourself!

Appearance

In Warface, it is possible to change the appearance of a fighter not only by replacing individual elements of equipment, but also by acquiring full-fledged thematic costumes - appearance.

You can purchase appearances forever in the game store in the "Appearance" section for credits. You can also get some appearances for a limited period by winning them in boxes of luck with the main weapon for credits or receiving them as a reward for successfully completing the Marathon special operation. For significant savings in appearance credits, you can purchase sets in the section "Miscellaneous" - "Sets".

Appearances absolutely do not provide any in-game advantages and serve solely to diversify the appearance of the fighters somewhat.

A hitbox is a specific area where a character is hit by a bullet. The hitbox has the same dimensions for all types of appearances, whether it is an exoskeleton or the appearance of the fairer sex, for example, the Aurora squad, - they will have the same affected area.

Recently on the Internet I saw a kit for growing crystals at home "Alchemist" and decided to buy it for my son. After reading the reviews. The son is ten years old, he is in the fifth grade and has just started studying chemistry. He is a very inquisitive child and I was sure that he would definitely like such a scientific experiment and arouse even greater interest in his studies. When I showed the box with the kit to my son and told me what it was, he was very happy and wanted to start the process as soon as possible.

In my opinion, this set is much more useful and interesting than many modern toys and the price is ten times lower. There was no doubt after reading the positive reviews, and the store manager said that crystal growing has been in great demand lately. Now I will tell you more about this set and what we ended up with.

What is a crystal growing kit

The set was packed in a colored cardboard box. The color of the crystal was indicated on the box, which will turn out in the end, when I made the order I chose red, it seemed to me the brightest, but the color can be changed using ordinary food dyes.

The box contained:

• A bag of powder that looks like salt mixed with grains of dye. This is the reagent from which the crystal is formed;
• A plastic container with a lid in which the crystal will grow;
• A pebble that will serve as the basis for a crystal;
• A spoon with which you need to stir the solution;
• Detailed step by step instructions.

How to grow a crystal

My son and I unpacked the box, laid everything on the table and got down to business. I really liked that the kit contains absolutely everything that is necessary for the experiment, so you can feel like in a real laboratory. We acted as written in the instructions. I want to note that the instruction itself is very detailed, and written in understandable language, so my son, perhaps, could have done it alone, but nevertheless I decided to look after him, and besides, I myself was terribly interested.

So, first of all, we poured the reagent powder into a special container, then we added hot water there to the horizontal mark on the wall and began to stir the solution until all the grains disappeared.

Then we rinsed the pebble with clean water (this is done so that the crystal grows transparent) and carefully lowered it with tweezers to the bottom of the container.

After that, the container was tightly closed with a lid and placed in a wall cabinet in the kitchen. In general, you need to think about the place for the container in advance, because it will stand there for a rather long time while the crystal grows. At this time, the container must not be moved or even touched, so as not to harm the crystal, because even vibration from loud music or slamming the door can interfere with its formation. It will also be better if the place is dark and cool, because the slower the water evaporates from the container, the more the crystal can grow.

A day later, in accordance with the instructions, we very carefully, trying not to disturb the container, removed the lid so that the water began to evaporate. Then we saw that our crystal appeared on the pebble.

The process began, and now we only had to wait.

Our crystal grew for about ten days. All this time, the son was only thinking about the coveted container. In the morning, the first thing he did was run into the kitchen, climb on a stool, open the cabinet door and look at his crystal. After school, the same story repeated itself. And the crystal, although slowly, grew up, forming an interesting pattern. To get a better look, a magnifying glass came in handy.

When the top of the crystal appeared above the water, we carefully took it out of the container with tweezers and air dried. Our crystal turned out to be about 7 centimeters high, beautiful, transparent and very graceful, you can watch the play of light on its edges for hours. The color, however, turned out to be a little paler than on the box, but this does not spoil the crystal. The main thing is that the resulting crystal is unique and unrepeatable, it is not exactly the same, and no one will have it.

The dried crystal is quite durable, it can be kept for a long time as a memory of an experiment or as a decorative element for an interior. The main thing is to protect the crystal from contact with water.

Precautions

1. The materials in the kit are non-toxic and crystal growth is a safe process if the instructions are followed. At the same time, it is better not to leave children unattended and remember some precautions:
2. Care should be taken to ensure that the child handles hot water gently.
3. Do not touch the reagent with your hands. In case of contact with the skin or eyes, rinse the area thoroughly with running water.
4. If you accidentally swallow a powder or solution from it, you should consult a doctor.

My impressions

Growing a crystal is a very exciting and educational activity that captures both children and their parents. A set for growing crystals at home is much cheaper than most modern toys, but at the same time it brings much more benefit, and also attracts the child's attention for a long time and gives him true joy. Such a visual experience will be remembered for a long time by the little scientist and will increase his craving for knowledge.

I also believe that a home crystal growing kit is a good gift not only for children, but also for adults. The process of growing your crystal is fascinating, and the result can be an interesting and unique interior decoration.

Advantages

• simple and straightforward instructions;
• availability of all necessary materials and tools;
• interesting and exciting process;
• the result is an amazingly beautiful and unique crystal;
• helps to arouse a child's interest in science;
• a great way to spend time together.

The child is insanely happy with both the process and the result, and asks to buy a set of a different color. And I will gladly do it in the near future. You can buy a set for growing crystals at home by clicking the button below.
