Crystal Clear: Year 5 Scientists Take on a New Challenge
2nd May 2025
Year 5 have once again impressed us with their curiosity and creativity as they completed this term’s home learning project: growing their own crystals.
Building on their Science work around reversible and irreversible changes, pupils were challenged to follow a recipe to grow crystals at home—without using a crystal growing kit. This allowed them to explore how materials behave and change, using knowledge they’d built up throughout the term.
The outcomes were as impressive as they were varied; from salt crystals to borax creations, each project showing careful experimentation, patience, and attention to detail.
Here’s a glimpse into our Year 5 crystal gallery!
