NOVA Crystal Science STEM Kit

Discover the fascinating world of crystal formation with the NOVA Crystal Science Kit, a hands-on STEM activity that combines chemistry, crystallography and creative fun. Young scientists will conduct six exciting crystal-growing experiments while learning how crystals form, grow and develop unique geometric structures.

This educational science kit lets kids create a Star-Shaped Crystal, Heart-Shaped Crystal, Crystal Pendant, Instant Crystal, Crystal Tree and Cherry Crystal Tree. Through guided experiments, children explore concepts such as supersaturated solutions, crystal growth and crystal structures while developing observation, patience and critical-thinking skills.

Using real crystal-growing compounds and reusable lab tools, kids can watch colorful crystals appear over hours or even instantly, revealing the incredible science behind minerals and crystallography. Inspired by NOVA's tradition of scientific discovery, this engaging STEM kit transforms chemistry lessons into memorable hands-on adventures.

Includes:
• Materials to create 6 crystal-growing projects (heart-shaped crystal, star-shaped crystal, crystal pendant, instant crystal, crystal pine tree, cherry crystal tree)
• Reusable experiment tools
• Illustrated instruction guide with crystal science facts
