Fun with Geodes

LJ has library day every Monday at school, and lately he has been bringing home National Geographic books. So when he brought home the Rocks and Minerals books, I thought it was a perfect time for one of our science experiments! 

After we read all about geodes and minerals, we got some geodes of our own to break open! 
Safety goggles and a hammer... this probably took about 30 hits to break it!! 




Success! We had quartz crystals in our rock! 
Excited boys! 

And then we got to grow our own crystals... 


One week later, we had crystals all over our dish!
