Innovating Science 'Silicate Garden' Chemistry Demo Kit

Innovating Science “Silicate Garden” chemistry kit is use to grow crystals. The kit has colored crystals that grow plant-like structures when added to a clear silicate solution in glass jar or beaker (jar or beaker sold separately). The kit includes an instructions and material safety data sheet (MSDS) packet for product information and handling procedures, and contains sodium silicate solution, iron (III) chloride hexahydrate, copper (II) chloride dihydrate, cobalt nitrate hexahydrate, and zinc sulfate heptahydrate. The kit is suitable for age 13 and older with adult supervision, and meets the requirements for Department of Transportation (DOT) small quantity exemption 173.4, and conforms to 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 173.4 for domestic highway or rail transport only.

Science education products incorporate applied math and science principles into classroom and homeschool-based projects. Teachers in pre-K, elementary, and secondary classrooms use science education kits and products alongside science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) curriculum to demonstrate STEM concepts and real-world applications through hands-on activities. Science education projects include a broad range of activities, such as practical experiments in engineering, aeronautics, robotics, energy, chemistry, physics, biology, and geology.
