Pupils get hand-on with crystals Dr Caroline Kirk, and PhD students Rebecca Rae and Fiona Maciver-Jones spent an afternoon at Liberton Primary School with the Primary 5 classes “Growing Crystals”. The children were hands-on in this session; carrying out experiments to grow crystals of salt and sugar as well as using a microscopy to watch crystals form from saturated solutions. Great fun was had by all! Publication date 22 Mar, 2019
