3. In recent experiments have shown that crystals grow five times faster when their
supersaturated solution is subjected to frequencies of 10 to 100 cycles a second.
5. During the growth process, crystals are also highly susceptible to consciousness
imprinting, whereby the meditations, through-patterns, healing energy or
bioelectric field identity of the grower may be enjoined within the crystalline
structure and memory.

Our Hypothesis:
We think that it won’t work and that the chemicals may separate. We think that copper sulfate and alum
won’t work because one is more saturated then the other.
Materials:
1. Hot water (NT)
2. Mason jar (NT)
3. Mixing spoon (NT)
4. Food coloring (NT)
5. Copper Sulfate (T)
6. Magnesium Sulfate (NT)
7. Sodium chloride (NT)
8. Potassium Alum (cubic shape) (T)
i. `Alum (NT)
Steps of our experiment:
1. Create saturated solution for crystals Calcium Chloride, Potassium Alum, Sodium Chloride,
Magnesium Sulfate, and Copper sulfate.
2. Mix two chemicals together in one jar for one minute. Mix quickly. How we will put it in first we will
pour one jar into the other.
3. Repeat after one week
4. Do this 3 times to have a big crystal.

Conclusion:
Looking at our results, it is clear that our original hypothesis was wrong. One way we know that our
hypothesis was wrong is that the crystals actually grew really efficiently. We think this happened because
the chemicals blended really well.
Another interesting thing that happened was that the aluminum potassium sulfate and the sodium chloride
crystals grew in a star formation. I think this was because the chemicals blended in a certain way to form
that shape. In conclusion, it turns out that we were wrong. If I were to do this again, two things I would
change would be the different types of chemicals we use and make more crystals.
