Stalactites and Stalagmites

What you need to make stalactites:
two glass jars
two fishing sinkers
Epsom salts
string
a small plate

What to do:
1. Fill the glass jars with hot water from the tap and stir in about one tablespoon of Epsom salts. 2. Wet a piece of 18 inch long string, tie a sinker to either end and hang it in the water.
3. Leave it undisturbed in a warm place for about a week.
4. Come back daily and check it out, but dont touch it.

Thanks for sharing this wonderful and informative post. This is such an excellent experiment to do to make your own stalactites. We here at the office are very interested in doing this. Have a great day.
