Growing salt crystals – 2nd attempt
Following my previous attempt at this. I am now repeating the experiment with pure Sodium Chloride. I am also using a 250ml conical flask, which is much larger.
This time I used hot water from the kettle, taking a precaution of warming this up with warm tap water first, just in case the sudden temperature changed caused the flask to shatter. I then added Sodium Chloride powder.
I am now leaving this to hopefully grow some nice crystals which I would expect to be more of a cuboid shape. This prediction is based on:-
- Pictures of similar results
- The molecular shape of Sodium Chloride.
I am doing this for:
- Support the STEM Group events
- Hopefully can use this in a school to help children grow their own crystals.
- Personal interest
- Research purposes

Code Club 5/3/2022
The next Club will be on Saturday 5th March 2022 @ Paignton Library. Please contact the library to book.
We will carry on with what we were doing last session, hopefully expand on what we were doing with the Micro:bit
If you are following the activities provided by code club, please use the website link below, this will hopefully avoid issues with the existing materials that are written for Scratch 2.0

FutureLearn course upgrades
I have two of the courses, that I completed with FutureLearn. The printed certificates should be on the way to me. These two courses are :-
- [Teaching Primary Science : Getting Started]
- [Teaching Primary Science : Chemistry]
Also identified lots of other courses,which demonstrate a commitment to keeping knowledge up to date. These will also be very useful while working as a TA within education settings.

Code Club 19/2/2022 Writeup
Another really busy code club today, a few new starters, so we got to work using Scratch and also hour of code. This is proving really popular, some attendees are undertaking more advanced activities, and others are carrying on with HTML/CSS
No Lego WeDo today, due to those attendees not being able to attend, however, Loic (one of the library staff) did get the Lego Mind storms working which is going to be really good going forward and also good for the STEM group meetings.
The next Club will be on Saturday 5th March 2022 @ Paignton Library. Please contact the library to book.
Next STEM Group meeting is 12th March.
We will carry on with what we were doing today.
