Next, I asked what they thought would happen if I poured the liquid onto the

plate with the sodium acetate powder. They thought it would just fill it up like
water.

So I began pouring very slowly and instantly crystals began to form.  We all

gasped, it was like magic!  As soon as the clear liquid hit the plate white
crystals would form like tiny fireworks.  I continued to pour and the liquid
crystallized forming a solid as soon as it touched the growing “ice”.

The kids wanted a really tall crystal tower so I poured as slowly as I could.  It
kept growing… and growing.  In the end it was over 6 inches tall!
