My goal in this experiment was to create crystals. I saw two other students performing this experiment and it interested me.
I found what I need to perform this experiment

I found what I need to perform this experiment
- water
- beaker (2)
- thermometer
- hotplate
- Borax
- glass stir rod
- heat resistant glove
What I did was
- I filled the beaker with 100 mls of water
- Then poured Borax in the breaker to the 10 mls mark
- I stirred it with the glass stir rod until it would not dissolve anymore
- Then I place the beaker on the hot plate I continued to stir periodically.
- I kept track of the temperature until it was at 80 degrees and the rest of the salt was dissolved
- The I put on the glove and transferred the liquid to another container
- I waited a day and the next day crystals formed
