This activity will aim to show crystal and its internal layout. There will be provided solutions for the creation of these crystals by using sugar and salt. This workshop will be divided into two final parts according to the age of participants: a) for the youngest, a craft paper of an ice crystal b) for a bit older, we will build crystal structure with sticks and cork balls.
