Chemistry Demonstration The Silicate Garden
Product Code : JA-DE-6736
The Chemistry Demonstration The Silicate Garden (SKU JA-DE-6736) is a classroom demonstration kit: a few coloured crystals are dropped into a clear solution in a glass jar or beaker, and within minutes large, plant-like structures grow upwards from them. The effect gives teachers a striking starting point for lessons on precipitation, osmosis and the properties of solutions. This silicate garden demonstration kit contains reagents for five demonstrations with instructions, and it is supplied by JaincoLab.
Specifications
The kit provides sufficient reagents for five silicate garden demonstrations together with instructions; the glass jar or beaker used for the demonstration is not included, and the individual reagents and quantities are confirmed on the quotation.

Teaching with the silicate garden demonstration
In the demonstration, metal-salt crystals react with the solution to form a thin precipitate membrane; water passes into it, the membrane bursts and re-forms, and coloured tubes grow upwards, which teachers use to illustrate precipitation, osmosis and insoluble salts.
- Introducing precipitation reactions and insoluble salts
- Illustrating osmosis through a semi-permeable precipitate membrane
- Open days, science clubs and exhibition demonstrations
- Prompting observation and discussion in lower-secondary chemistry
