| Crystal Growing Competition 2010 |
|
|
Crystals are everywhere. Just think of our daily lives, sugar and salt
are crystals, and the only reason LCD computer and television screens
work is because of the many tiny crystals inside.
Where else can you find crystals? How about your
classroom! If you enter the RACI Crystal Growing Competition then you
can create your own crystals within six weeks and then have a chance to
have these crystals judged and displayed during National Science Week.
