Create a pipe cleaner flower, and attach a second green pipe cleaner which will act as the stem and leaves later on. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Flowers come in all shapes and sizes, so this is where kids can use their imaginations and get creative! Jewel even made one with a red stem, which she explained belonged to the rhubarb family.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Coil the green (or red) stem around a chopstick, so that the flower can dangle below.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The idea is that the chopstick can balance on the lip of a glass jar, with the flower dangling down inside. It&#8217;s a good idea to test this out &#8211; does your flower easily fit inside the neck of the jar? When the chopstick is balancing on top, can your flower hang freely inside the jar, without touching the bottom or sides? Once you&#8217;re happy, set your flower and chopstick aside.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. This next step requires adult assistance. Fill the glass jar with boiling water. With safety glasses on, add several tablespoons of Borax powder to the boiling water in the jar, and stir with a spoon until all the Borax is suspended (and looks dissolved). <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The actual quantity of Borax will depend on the volume of your jar &#8211; allow for about 3 tablespoons per 250ml of water. <em>Please see safety notes below. Borax is not taste-safe.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4156\" src=\"https:\/\/gosciencekids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Adding-Borax.jpg\" alt=\"Adding Borax\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gosciencekids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Adding-Borax.jpg 600w, https:\/\/gosciencekids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Adding-Borax-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gosciencekids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Adding-Borax-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gosciencekids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Adding-Borax-250x167.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Lower the pipe cleaner flower into the Borax suspension, balancing the chopstick on top. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Double check that the flower is hanging in the solution, without touching the sides or bottom of the jar. Then put it in a safe place where it won&#8217;t be disturbed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Over the next few days, crystals will start to form!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You should be able to see some of the progress through the sides of the glass jar, but it&#8217;s also OK to lift your chopstick up every now and again so you can see how the crystals are growing. It&#8217;s fascinating!<\/p>\n<p>We did a little experimenting with adding scents and colours, but found that the biggest and clearest crystals formed on the flowers without these additives.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4155\" src=\"https:\/\/gosciencekids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Making-crystals.jpg\" alt=\"Making crystals\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gosciencekids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Making-crystals.jpg 600w, https:\/\/gosciencekids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Making-crystals-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gosciencekids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Making-crystals-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gosciencekids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Making-crystals-250x167.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Once the crystals have stopped growing, remove your flower from the jar and let dry. Uncoil the pipe cleaner from the chopstick, and re-shape into a stem and leaves.<\/strong><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"info-box\">\n<h3 class=\"fun-fact\">Fun Science Fact<\/h3>\n<p>Water is made up of tiny molecules. If you mix Borax with water, some Borax can become &#8216;suspended&#8217;, which means that the water molecules can &#8216;hold&#8217; onto it for a while. When water is very hot, the water molecules move further apart, and make room for the water molecules to &#8216;hold&#8217; onto more of the Borax. As the water cools, the water molecules come closer together, and the water molecules can&#8217;t &#8216;hold&#8217; the same quantity of Borax as they could before. This is called supersaturation. The extra Borax separates from the water molecules, and form crystals which stick to the pipe cleaners (and to the bottom of the jar).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Jewel and I had so much fun, that we ended up making eight crystal flowers! A veritable crystal garden. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4158\" src=\"https:\/\/gosciencekids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Creating-a-crystal-flower-garden-1.jpg\" alt=\"Creating a crystal flower garden\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gosciencekids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Creating-a-crystal-flower-garden-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/gosciencekids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Creating-a-crystal-flower-garden-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gosciencekids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Creating-a-crystal-flower-garden-1-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gosciencekids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Creating-a-crystal-flower-garden-1-250x167.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4157\" src=\"https:\/\/gosciencekids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Crystal-flower-garden.jpg\" alt=\"Crystal flower garden\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gosciencekids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Crystal-flower-garden.jpg 600w, https:\/\/gosciencekids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Crystal-flower-garden-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gosciencekids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Crystal-flower-garden-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gosciencekids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Crystal-flower-garden-250x167.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you want to explore the science behind Borax crystals further, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scientificamerican.com\/article\/bring-science-home-crystals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Scientific American<\/a> has some great experiment suggestions.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4159\" src=\"https:\/\/gosciencekids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Borax-crystal-flowers.jpg\" alt=\"Borax crystal flowers\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gosciencekids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Borax-crystal-flowers.jpg 600w, https:\/\/gosciencekids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Borax-crystal-flowers-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gosciencekids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Borax-crystal-flowers-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gosciencekids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Borax-crystal-flowers-250x250.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"info-box\">\n<h3 class=\"warning\">Safety notes&#8230;<\/h3>\n<p>Be careful&nbsp;with&nbsp;boiling water around young kids.
