The Frozen Project: a 6-year-olds study of crystals…
 


 
 Mr Manu suggested we study sea water, but we are not close to the ocean. So what did you study instead?
 
 Fish tank water for our fresh water fish.


 
 I thought you did that before?
 
 Well, I did but that

 water was wet.
 </a>
 This time we let the water dry on a glass slide into crystals.


 
 Wow, that sounds cool! How did it turn out?
 
 
 Very good.
 


 
 I am excited tell, me more.
 
 In some places the crystals made dots, in other places the crystals made lines, in other places they looked like the edges of snowflakes, still in others the crystals made little landscapes.


 
 Here is my sketch:
