Stalactites and Stalagmites


Supplies

  • Two glass jars (Baby food or small mason jars will do)
  • Water
  • Epsom salts
  • String (long enough to fit in both jars)
  • Small weights (metal washers will work)
  • Plate

    How To Make It

    1. Fill the two jars with warm water
    2. Mix in Epsom salts until no more will dissolve.
    3. Wet a piece of string and tie a weight to each end.
    4. Drop on end of the string into each jar
    5. Put a plate between the two jars with the string hanging over the plate.
    6. Check your 'cave' daily to see if Stalactites and Stalagmites are forming.

    Notes:

    Stalactites hang on tight to the ceiling of a cave. Stalagmites are very strong and stand up on the floor of caves.
