Sodium Acetate Crystallization

Turn liquid into solid instantly! This kit lets young scientists witness the amazing transformation of a clear, supersaturated solution into sparkling solid crystals in seconds. Watch as the solution “freezes” before your eyes, releasing heat and forming intricate crystal structures. A dramatic, hands-on demonstration of chemistry in action.

What They’ll Learn

• How supersaturated solutions can hold more solute than expected.

• The concept of nucleation and how crystals form.

• Why some reactions release heat (exothermic reactions) even though no fire is involved.

• Real-world applications in chemistry, materials science, and engineering.

Why It’s Awesome

✔ Safe, non-toxic, and homeschool-friendly.
✔ Instant visual results — a magical crystal “eruption.”
✔ Repeatable: dissolve and recrystallize again and again.
