HAVE YOUR STUDENTS EVER TRIED TO GROW CRYSTALS?

Here is an opportunity for students to take part in a scientific competition. The process is simple, and designed to encourage students to develop an interest in Chemistry from a young age. Students can participate as individuals or with a friend, small groups or class groups. The competition is open to students in Grades Prep – 3, 4, 5, 6 & 7 at the primary level and students in Grades 8, 9 & 10 at the secondary level. During the project, the students observe the process and write observations, and submit a one page report with each crystal for judging. Prizes are allocated for each grade (grades Prep – 3 are judged together). If insufficient entries are received for a grade, more than one grade may be judged together. All students participating will receive a crystal sticker and a participation certificate. The winners receive award certificates and plaques.
