DIY UNIT 1 MAKING CRYSTALS

 VOLUNTARY ACTIVITY: DIY CRYSTALS

I propose you a volunteer Do It Yourself practice about MAKING CRYSTALS.

Read the following information, and carry out this Lab Practice at home,

When finished, you should show to the teacher:

• Your final crystals

• And the Lab Report.

This Lab Report should include, as usual:

• Title
• Materials 
• Procedure
• Opinion or conclusion.

In the procedure you must include:

the STEPS TO MAKE CRYSTALS with

• • • Explanation

    • and drawing /or real picture.

Even if you do not obtain a good crystal you should also do the LAB REPORT and boost your mark somehow.

he final result is not as important as the learning experience. Explain the process and reflect about why do you think it did not crystallize.

If you bring the crystal and the report you will grant 0,5 extra point in a coming exam
