 After explaining nucleation ask your kiddo if they can think of any other
processes that being with nucleation {hint: rock candy, borax crystals, clouds,
carbon dioxide gas in soda}
 Ask you kiddo if they can think of other reactions that release heat {hand
warmers, burning candle}
 Try adding a drop of food color to see if you could make colored crystals.
