Educational science kit Clementoni Magic Crystal Set – crystal growing experiment kit (MPN 18524.5)

Clementoni Magic Crystal Set is an experiment kit designed for children aged 8 and above to explore crystal growth through guided, hands-on activities. The kit contains the materials and illustrated instructions needed to create and observe different crystal formations, helping learners discover basic concepts in chemistry and geology such as nucleation, crystal structure and growth dynamics. The set is compact and suitable for use at home or in a classroom environment, and its multicolour components make the practical steps visually engaging.

Advantages

The kit provides a complete, safe set of components and step-by-step directions to perform crystal growing experiments without requiring advanced laboratory equipment. It supports practical learning by combining manual activity with observation and note-taking, reinforcing scientific reasoning and curiosity. The components are selected for ease of use and repeatability, allowing several experiments and comparisons of outcomes under different conditions. The product’s age recommendation and clear safety guidance make it appropriate for supervised educational use.

Suitable for

• Home education and family science activities
• Primary and middle school classroom demonstrations
• Project work on mineralogy, chemistry and natural sciences
• Hands-on learning sessions focusing on experimental method and observation

Key specifications

• Product type: experiment kit for crystal growth
• Theme: chemistry
• Recommended minimum age: 8 years
• Contents include prepared reagents, growing vessels and illustrated instructions for several experiments
• Colour: multicolour components for clear visual differentiation during experiments

How to use

Follow the enclosed illustrated instructions and safety notes before starting any experiment. Prepare a clean, flat workspace and gather basic household items listed in the booklet if required (for example a spoon or measuring cup). Measure and mix the supplied reagents as directed, pour solutions into the provided vessels and allow crystals to form undisturbed for the indicated time. Observe changes at regular intervals, record observations, and compare results from different experimental conditions such as temperature or concentration to learn about factors that influence crystal growth.

Usage recommendations

Use the kit under adult supervision, work on a protected surface to catch spills, and follow the safety instructions in the manual. Allow crystals to dry and set completely before handling and store remaining reagents in their original containers and out of reach of young children. For extended learning, repeat experiments altering a single variable at a time to demonstrate cause-and-effect relationships.
