RESULTS OF THE 2009
CANADA-WIDE CRYSTAL GROWING COMPETITION

CANADA-WIDE

 
A special thank you to:
  • Anachemia Science for providing the Aluminum Potassium Sulfate for the contest
  • The many teachers who supervised their students and gave a lot of their own time
  • The Chemical Institute of Canada volunteers who coordinated the contest in their local area
  • The panel of judges who volunteered to evaluate the crystals at Université du Québec à Chicoutimi just before Christmas.
