Valentine's Day - Science - Crystal Hearts - STEM - Special Education

Looking to add a little hands-on Valentine's Day fun into your class? I have created this easy step-by-step lesson on how to make crystal hearts that will leave your kids in awe! Borax hearts are a beautiful way to bring functional reading writing and science skills to life.

Kids absolutely love bringing them home and parents are even more happy to see the reading, writing, and science that went behind creating them. Unlike sugar or salt crystals that take days to form, these crystal hearts are done overnight. Students beg for this activity each year and I am sure yours will too!

This specific lesson is great if you don't have the physical supplies on hand OR want students to simply have the visuals for each step to reference on their own after the experiment is done.

Even though this lesson was originally designed for special education students, this download is a perfect addition to any classroom because of its high interest content, visual, and hands on teaching methods.

- 1 page of visual list of supplies
