You make a prediction based on something you know. So I know that table salt is sodium chloride (2 atoms). Epsom Salt is Magnesium Sulfate (MgSO4) which is 6 atoms. If we assume that the crystals grow at the same rate (same number of molecules per minute), then my prediction would be the Magnesium Sulfate will make bigger crystal structure, because of the bigger molecules. So I would expect the Epsom Salts to grow much faster - maybe up to 3 times faster. That would be a hypothesis that is testable and measurable.

What is the dependent variable for growing crystals?
The dependent variable for growing crystals is typically the size, shape, or clarity of the crystals. These characteristics are directly influenced by the independent variables in the experiment, such as temperature, concentration of the solution, or type of crystal-growing substance.
What are the materials to make crystals?
Materials to make crystals include a crystal growing solution (e.g., water mixed with a crystal-forming substance like salt or sugar), a container for the solution, a seed crystal or string for crystal growth, and patience for the crystals to form over time with proper conditions (like temperature and undisturbed environment). Optional materials include coloring agents for colored crystals and a stirring utensil for mixing the solution.
How do you make man made crystal?
Man-made crystals can be created using a process called crystal growing. This involves dissolving a substance in water to create a supersaturated solution, then allowing the solution to cool and the crystals to form over time. By controlling factors like temperature, pressure, and stirring, scientists can manipulate the crystal growth process to create crystals with desired properties.
How does fractional crystallization help in removing the impurities from a solid substance?
Fractional crystallization separates a mixture by slowly cooling it and allowing individual components to crystallize at different temperatures. As each component crystallizes, it becomes more pure, effectively removing impurities. By repeating the process multiple times, the desired substance can be isolated in a purer form.
Irwin Toy Crystal Growing Kits Instructions?
To grow crystals using an Irwin Toy Crystal Growing Kit, follow these general steps: Prepare the crystal growing solution by mixing the included chemicals with water as per the instructions. Place the solution in a clean container and immerse a crystal base (e.g., a cardboard shape) in the solution. Allow the crystals to grow slowly over several days, following any specific instructions provided in the kit. Once the crystals have reached the desired size, carefully remove them from the solution and let them dry.
What is the dependent variable for growing crystals?

Are Growing crystals dead living or inorganic?
They're inorganic. The crystals 'grow' by molecules of the same substance in the surrounding liquid sticking to the 'seed' crystal.
What are the best science projects to make?
growing crystals
What is the hypothesis growing plant without soil?
GG
What effect does surface texture have on growing crystals?
well if ur growing it on a rock or anything outside and natural tht surface will grow the crystals. n the crystals cud mold into the shape of the surface. other than tht, no effect
How does crystallization form?
crystals form from molten rock as the molten rock cools. if the molten rock cools very fast then you may have small crystals growing or no crystals at all. if the molten rockk colls slowly then you then you have large crystals growing. this happens when the molten material is deep in the earth. examples of these types of crystals are Rubies, Emeralds, and Diamonds. crystals may also form when water is evaporated. salt crystals are an example as they form when salt water evaporates.
How big are alum crystals after growing for 2 weeks?
Adding alum to hot tap water until it no longer dissolves, will create a solution that will allow crystals to form as it evaporates. The size the crystals will be for 2 weeks will depend on growing conditions and if any solution is left.

Are quartz crystals still growing?
It depends on what you mean. Are there quartz crystals on earth that are growing today? Yes. Is that quartz crystal in your rock collection still growing? No. Quartz crystals often form when water with super concentrated silica in it comes into contact with a surface (such as a very small crystal) onto which the silica can precipitate. Crystals also form when magma/lava cools and the different elements in the mixture differentiate into various minerals.

What is a catchy title for a project on growing crystals?

What are variables for growing salt crystals?
Temperature and humidity, concentration of salt in solution and time
