After last week's project arranging blocks to understand crystal patterns, we decided to grow some crystals to see exactly what they look like. For today's project, we decide to grow salt crystals -- a fairly easy and rewarding project that can be tackled at a fairly young age with the proper supervision. I was particularly excited about this project because I did it when I was Beckett's age.
