This week in Salamander class I have 2 classes of them on Friday and 2 more on Saturday, so I definitely am going to have to do some fun experiments.
On Friday, I will review the Final Exam they took a few days ago, then we will make Magical Crystal Snowflakes, using some Borax.
On Saturday, our crystal snowflakes will be finished growing and ready to take home.
