Science Experiment to try at home
Make Stalactites & Stalagmites
What you'll need: • Two jars • Water • Epsom salts • String • Small weights • Plate How to Conduct the Stalactite and Stalagmite Experiment - Fill two jars with warm water. Mix in Epsom salts until no more will dissolve. Wet the string and tie a weight to each end. (we used 1cent coins wrapped in cling film) Drop one end of the string into each jar. Put a plate between the two jars, with the string hanging over the plate. Check at least once a day to see if stalactites and stalagmites have formed. How do you know which are Stalactites and which are Stalagmites? Stalactites - Hold on TIGHT (they hang down), the MIGHTY Stalagmites stand up tall |
