Crystals grow in hot water
I just wanted to know if you believed in my theory that crystals grow larger and faster in hot water rather than cold water.

Re: Crystals grow in hot water
This is an excellent hypothesis to test using a well designed set of science experiments.
Temperature does affect the way crystals grow, but not necessarily how fast they grow.
Here is a Science Buddies project you might want to consider doing to investigate your hypothesis: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... p005.shtml
Give it a try and have fun!
