Crystal Tree for the wee ones, or gay ones

[Cracker]

God, they still make those? I remember making them in science class in grade school.

Yes, the lucky kids still get to make stuff, I guess. My kid seems to mostly color stuff. But most people came away without the main point of the entire thing: Metals form crystals, which accounts for many of its properties.

In school they show you shit that is "cool" without explaining why it is important.

I guess the kids who were really interested are now geologists or materials engineers.
