In science we were learning about minerals. We learned their properties and the five things that you have to have if it is a mineral. To make our crystals we used borax that you can find in the Landry detergent aisle and hot water we also cut pipe cleaners and made them into a 6 pointed star. We left them at school over night and when we got back we got to take them out and now we get to take them home. Another thing we did was make shrinky-dinks. Dr. Adams came and gave us pieces of plastic to make them. We got to color on our plastic and when we were done Dr. Adams or a teacher came and put them in a toaster oven.
