CRYSTAL INK<br />

They are formed by salt crystals, which can have many different shapes. You can even make<br />

crystal ink with them, which can only be seen on some surfaces:<br />

• Table salt<br />

• A measuring spoon<br />

• A beaker<br />

• A measuring cup<br />

• A paintbrush<br />

• A sheet of black paper<br />

• Water<br />

• A radiator<br />

Measure 60ml of water in the beaker, add 20ml of salt using the measuring spoon and mix well.<br />

With this simple step, you have made the salt crystal ink. With the help of a gown-up, heat up a<br />

radiator so that it will be warm when the message is ready.<br />

Write a message on the black paper with the brush and the crystal ink. Stir the solution often to stop<br />

the salt from going to the bottom of the container. With the help of a grown-up, place the paper on<br />

the radiator and let it dry.<br />

The message appears in the form of shiny white crystals on a black surface. The water has<br />

evaporated leaving the dry salt crystals on the paper.<br />

MAKING EGG PAINT<br />

Can you make paint with an egg? It's very easy. All you need is:<br />

• Food colourings<br />

• 2 egg whites<br />

• Water<br />

• A measuring cup<br />

• A measuring spoon<br />

• Cups<br />

• 1 paintbrush<br />

• A dropper<br />

You will only need the yolks. Mix them with some water and put a bit of the mixture into each cup.<br />

With the dropper, add 2 or 3 drops of food colouring ti each cup to make egg yolk paint in different<br />

colours. Mix each colour well, take a brush and some paper and... Start painting!<br />

DENSITY<br />

What happens when you mix different types of liquids? What weighs less, water<br />

or oil? What happens if we freeze it?<br />

Prepare the following material:<br />

• The mini laboratory<br />

• Oil<br />

• Water<br />

• A beaker<br />

Mix 30ml of water and 30ml of oil in a beaker. Pour part of the mix into one of the<br />

mini laboratory test tubes and leave it to rest for a few minutes. The oil stays on<br />

the surface because it weighs less than the water.<br />

Now pour part of the oil and water mix into the second test tube and place the<br />

mini laboratory in the freezer for an hour. What happens? See how the oil has<br />

gone to the bottom because water weighs less when it freezes.<br />
