In Term 2, our school will be entering a Crystal Growing competition run by RACI (Royal Australian Chemical Institute). The boys will be growing crystals over several weeks from a non-toxic alum solution. A selection of crystals will be sent to RACI for judging. To participate in the competition, each boy will need a clearly labelled glass jar with a lid; 250mL is the ideal size. The competition offers an exciting opportunity for the boys to make scientific observations and watch chemistry in action.
