We have this lovely book all about rocks. A rock is lively by Diana Hutts Aston. It’s all about the ingredients that make up rocks. It has some beautiful pictures in it, in an attempt to recreate some of this beauty we made some Geodes. Geodes are rocks with sparkling crystals inside them.
We made our geodes by slightly heating up some water and dissolving as much salt as possible.
We mixed the salt solution with food colouring inside some egg shells and left them. It took many days for our geodes to develop
The best geodes that we created were the egg shells in pots that started off with the most salt solution in.
We loved how the molecular structure of the salt changed and in some instances created what looked like perfect squares.
We’d love you to share with us about any fab science experiments you’ve done, please comment below. :)

What a cool project. We did this when I was in elementary school, but we didn’t use the food coloring. Thanks for sharing!

I love this, such a simple idea and really effective. I wish it only took an hour and I’d do it for activity hour with the kids here! #fabfridaypost

I can see how it wouldn’t work for activity hour. Like watching paint dry! It felt like ours took weeks!
