1 00:00:03,890 --> 00:00:11,470 Hello, my name is Daniel and in this experiment I'm going to demonstrate how minerals grow. 2 00:00:15,660 --> 00:00:20,480 First, I'm going to mix hot water with salt. 3 00:00:23,539 --> 00:00:35,090 This is the hot water and now I put the salt. 4 00:00:52,250 --> 00:00:55,350 It's important to stir very well. 5 00:00:55,350 --> 00:01:50,140 Once it has been solved, I take a spoonful of the solution and I put it in a plate so that it can evaporate faster. 6 00:01:50,140 --> 00:01:54,140 The evaporation takes several hours. 7 00:01:54,140 --> 00:02:14,180 Here I have the plate with a crust of salt. 8 00:02:14,180 --> 00:02:45,550 I'm going to pick a little crystal and tie up a thread around it. 9 00:02:45,550 --> 00:02:47,550 There it is. 10 00:02:47,550 --> 00:02:52,550 And now I tie up the thread to a stick. 11 00:02:52,550 --> 00:03:15,710 Finally I'm going to submerge the crystal into the solution. 12 00:03:15,710 --> 00:03:46,379 Now I leave the crystal growing for at least 5 weeks.
