My science project tested how borax crystals grow using different temperatures of water. I chose this project because I wanted to learn how crystals form and what affects the speed of growth, size, and appearance. The results showed that hot water grew the fastest, biggest, and clearest crystals. This project is important because it helps explain how water temperature affects crystal growth.

The project appears to be something you care so much about and this is evident in your presentation. You showed significant creativity in your project design, method and presentation. Nice to see that you included the challenges faced and what you could do differently next time.
Great job testing how water temperature affects borax crystal growth. I like how you explained why hot water helps crystals grow bigger and clearer, the pictures and adding good references is commendable. Using precise ways to measure crystal size will make your project even stronger.
