Wellbeing Wednesday Week 9

Materials

• Three cups of table salt.

• 1L of water

• Pencil

• Paperclip or nail

• A piece of string, cut to size.

• One strong plastic or Pyrex jar.

Steps

1. Boil the water with the help of an adult.

2. Pour the water into the plastic jar. Do not use glass as it may break.

3. Add the salt one tablespoon at a time. Allow the salt to dissolve before you add more tablespoons.

4. Continue adding salt until you cannot dissolve anymore and it collects at the bottom of the jar.

5. Tie one end of the string around the pencil and the other end around the paperclip or nail.

6. Dangle the string into the saturated salt solution, so that the paperclip doesn’t touch the bottom of the jar or its sides.

7. Allow the jar to sit undisturbed for one week. Salt crystals should form at the top of the string.
