How long does it take magic rocks to grow?
The Smithsonian Magic Rocks is a Metal Salt science experiment for kids where you place the magic rocks and solution in a small clear tank (supplied) and watch them grow. It says on the instructions to leave them for a total of 12 hours, but you will see most of the growth in the first few hours. This is a very straightforward experiment and can be carried out easily by groups of two in 30 minutes. The crystals start to develop overnight, but the experiment can be left for several days or for more than a week, with perhaps a competition being held to judge which is the finest ‘garden’.
