			'''Presentation on Saltcrystals by Liese Endler'''

			In WS2014/15 I started working with Magnesium sulfate and Aluminum potassium sulfate.
			To get a saturated solution that will start growing crystals I used following receipts:

			Magnesium sulfate solution:
			mix salt and water in relation 1 to 3
			e.g. 50g magnesium sulfate + 150g distilled water (warm)


			Aluminum potassium sulfate solution:
			mix salt and water in relation 1 to 2
			50g aluminum potassium sulfate + 100g distilled water (warm)

			My general observations on salt crystals so far:
			- once one small crystals started growing a lot more will follow (concept of the seed crystal)
			- when being exposed to music or other kinds of sonar waves / vibrations the crystals growth respond with different patterns
			- Magnesium sulfate-crystals are more easy to grow in a warm surrounding e.g. near the heater but not directly on it, sometimes it take a long time until the growing starts depending on the location of the jar the solution is in and the saturation
			- dusk, dirt or small particles of metal( e.g. from the metal spoon that one can use to mix the solution ) can interfere with the growing process
			- if you want to grow a big crystal its important to separate the one that you like the most from the others and put it into a fresh prepared solution that is cold

			Exercise for the class:

			take a drop of magnesium sulfate-solution (MgSO4+H20) onto a microscope slide (Objektträger)
			try to work as clean as possible and take care the the drop is not full of dirt or dust
			wait a bit and than start to observe the drop through a microscope
			if you are really lucky and a bit patient you can see the crystal growth.
