What are some fun science projects for teens?

Here are a few fun science projects for teens: 1. Build a volcano using baking soda and vinegar. 2. Create a simple circuit with a battery and LED. 3. Grow crystals using sugar or salt. 4. Make a homemade lava lamp with oil and water. Which one interests you?

I like the crystal growing project! How do I do that?

Great choice! To grow crystals, you can dissolve sugar or salt in hot water until no more dissolves. Then, let it cool and place a string or stick in the solution. Crystals will start forming as it cools. It may take a few days!

How long does it usually take for the crystals to form?

It typically takes about 3 to 7 days for crystals to start forming, depending on the temperature and concentration of the solution.

Can I use other materials to grow crystals?

Yes! You can use materials like Epsom salt, borax, or even alum to grow different types of crystals. Each will have unique shapes and sizes.
