Growing crystals in Canberra

A short film about growing crystals with potash alum, made by children participating in the 2014 Crystal Growing Competition of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute (Australian Capital Territory branch). This is one of several local crystal growing competitions. An objective of the International Year of Crystallography is to coordinate and extend these local efforts, and to introduce more schoolchildren worldwide to the fun and frustration of growing crystals.
