The science behind magic rocks

What is a magic rock? How do magic rocks work? The magic solution is a solution of sodium silicate (Na SiO 3) in water. The metal salts react with the sodium silicate to form the characteristic colored precipitant (chemical towers about high). You pour a magic solution over magic rocks and a fanciful crystal garden starts growing as you watch.


It says on the instructions to leave them for a total of hours, but you will see most of the growth in the first few hours.

Magic Rocks are a classic instant crystal growing kit. The magic crystals that are left behind are a combination of the Mrs. Stewart’s Bluing and the table salt. The solution that you created is supersaturated by the bluing and salt that you add to the water.


The bluing is a colloi with many tiny particles suspending themselves within the water. Crystals can take weeks, years, or even thousands of years to form. Just pour the included solution into a container and add the crystals.


The rocks grow into fascinating crystal towers in just a day.

Geology for those with short attention spans? Mix the solution in a jar of water, drop in the pebbles, and watch them grow into a forest of multi-color stalagmites. Growth starts in minutes, is impressive in minutes, and complete (up to tall) in hours. Metamorphic Rocks - Metamorphic rocks are formed by great heat and pressure.


Bring a little magic to St. The Science Behind the Experiment Steve Spangler is known for his wonderful explanations of science activities. I would recommend clicking over to read the background to this simple experiment, but for now, Legoman would like to explain things too.


It is a geomorphological feature called as a tombolo. Formed due to the shoreline movement toward the island (or detached breakwater) due to accretion of sand in the lee of the island where wave energy and longshore drift are reduced and therefore deposition of sand occurs. Here is a magic milk science experiment that your children will want to do again and again! Read on to learn how to do the magic milk science experiment and why it happens. This particular science activity is lots of fun and a great introduction to those children who haven’t had much experience in observing chemical reactions etc.


Science magic tricks look like magic —an effect with a secret—but that secret is based on a scientific principle or concept that makes it look like a magic trick. With the help of chemistry or physics, magic is science and science is magic ! Amazing science magic tricks including leakproof bag, defying gravity and a skewer through a balloon. Dip a quarter and the neck of a glass soda bottle into a bowl of cold water.


Allow them to sit for five minutes.

Take them out and place the bottle right side up. It has several sciences in play. Right from Hypnotism, Psychology and Illusion, to visual effects, Magic is 1 science.


When these acts are used to deceive gullible people into believing supernatural phenomena, this magic becomes BLACK….
