Did you know that we all have access to our very own laboratory at home? You might not realize it, but just a few materials - salt, sugar, water, cups, and utensils - can create the same thing researchers grow in their own labs: crystals. Not only are crystals important and scientific, but also, they are beautiful and fascinating.
Walton STARS is delighted to host the 2022 Cobb County Crystal-Growing Competition, open to students K-12th. Learning to grow crystals is one great way to learn the scientific method and grow as a young scientist. Maybe you're interested in seeing what shapes and colors a crystal can be made into - in that case, enter the Creative Category! Or maybe you're a perfectionist who would love to see a large, pristine crystal grow. In that case, enter the Crystalline Category! No matter which category/categories you compete in, it will be an amazing, scientifically creative experience.
