Do It
photo of salt, water and jar grab
  • Epsom salt
  • a tablespoon
  • a cup of water
  • a paper circle
  • a jar lid
how?
  1. Cut out a paper circle the same size as the jar lid. Put the circle in the lid.
  2. Measure 4 big tablespoons of Epsom salt. Don't worry if you add too much - the more, the better.
  3. Dissolve all 4 tablespoons in the water and stir the mixture thoroughly.
  4. Pour the water mixture into the jar lid. Stick the lid in a place where it won't be disturbed. It will take a few days, but let the water evaporate and see what happens!
what happened?
Try the experiment, tell us what happens and watch DFTV for your results! What shape did your Epsom salt crystals turn out to be?
