4M - Crystal Growing - Colour Changing Crystal Light

Description

Combine crystallography with dazzling illumination in the 4M Colour Changing Crystal Light kit. This innovative science set allows children to grow their own collection of stunning crystals, then display them on a special LED base that cycles through a spectrum of colours. The comprehensive kit includes everything needed to conduct seven crystal growing experiments: one large crystal (2" diameter), two medium crystals, and four small crystals. The colour-changing display base measures 5.75" x 4" and creates a spectacular showcase for the completed crystals, illuminating them from below with shifting colours that highlight their geometric facets and internal structures. Children begin by mixing the crystal solutions according to the instructions, then watching as beautiful crystal structures begin to form and grow over several days. This hands-on activity demonstrates real scientific principles of crystal formation in an engaging, visually spectacular format. The crystal growing process teaches patience and observation skills as children monitor the gradual development of their crystalline creations. Once fully formed and placed on the illuminated base, the crystals create a mesmerising display that's both educational and decorative. The colour-changing feature adds an element of wonder, making this a perfect night light or room decoration that showcases the beauty of chemistry. This educational kit bridges science and art, potentially sparking interest in both fields. The display base requires 2 AA batteries (not included). Suitable for children aged 10 and above, with adult supervision recommended during the preparation of the crystal solutions.
