• Read and follow the instructions, the safety rules and the first aid
information, and keep them for future reference.
• The incorrect use of chemicals can cause injury and damage to health.
Only carry out those experiments that are listed in the instructions.
• This crystal growing kit is for use only by children over 10 years of age.
• Because children’s abilities vary so much, even within age groups,
supervising adults should exercise discretion as to which preparations are
suitable and safe for them. The instructions should enable supervisors to
assess any experiment to establish its suitability for a particular child.
• The supervising adult should discuss the warnings and safety information
with the children before commencing the experiments. Particular attention
should be paid to the safe handling of the materials in the bottles and all
chemical preparations made in the activities.
• The area surrounding the experiment should be kept clear of any
obstructions and away from the storage of food. It should be well lit,
ventilated and close to a water supply. A solid table with a heat resistant
top should be provided.
• A separate tin or bucket should be used for the disposal of solid waste
materials. Any wasted solution should be poured down a drain but never
into a sink.
• Crystal growing is a slow process and requires patience to get good
results. TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT, PLEASE NOTE: You should wait
a minimum of 12 hours for crystals to grow, but better results can be
obtained by waiting for up to a week.
