Borax Crystal Sculptures 1-4-24 3B
What is borax?: Borax is a powdery white substance also known as sodium borate. It is the substance that will create the crystals.
What chemical elements or compounds are in it?: Borax is made from Boron and Oxygen. It is also made from sodium and water.
Why use hot water?: We use hot water because the more hot water you use the more supersaturated the borax is. Also colder water will not be as saturated.
What happens when the water cools: The borax crystallizes and will form a crystal.
How is your 3D sculpture dynamics: My sculpture is dynamic because it is a shape that isn't one of the basic shapes people use. I used the pipe cleaner and wrapped it around the other one to create a twisting design.
