Date / Time Seam also spent 11 years at Discovery, where he managed the U.S. corporate legal department. Prior to that, he was a corporate associate at the Hogan & Hartson firm (now Hogan Lovells). While there are more crystals in the upper cave, they are far smaller, typically about a yard (a meter) long. Nearly the Size of a Basketball Court

Not Too Messy - The messiest part is the adding and stirring of the crystal powder to the water. A few drops here and there, but otherwise I feel you’ll step away from this experiment with minimal clean-up.

In 1994, Stofan became JPL’s chief scientist for the New Millennium Program where she managed a team of about 100 scientists working on new technologies. The following year, Stofan moved to London while continuing to work at JPL and was, and continues to be, an honorary professor at University College London. In September 2020, Nancy was named to the FORBES 2020 Impact 50 List of the most notable impact investors.

Hands-on for Parents - Older kids might not need as much parent involvement, but younger kids will definitely need you to be involved in the process. The making of the crystals involves hot water. Then the crystals need to be still and not moved while growing, so you need to monitor your kids around them. I was also in charge of progress through the days and deciding when they were done. However, they can totally do a large part of the making of the crystal…just be there to help. Of course, there is a pro here as well, in that you get to spend some quality time learning with your kid! Revkin has crossed over into scientific scholarship. He played an early role in the evolution of the hypothesis that humans have triggered a new geological epoch, the Anthropocene. In his 1992 global warming book, he wrote: “Perhaps earth scientists of the future will name this new post-Holocene period for its causative element – for us. We are entering an age that might someday be referred to as, say, the Anthrocene [sic]. After all, it is a geological age of our own making.” That future arrived just eight years later, in 2000, when scientists formally proposed such an epoch. Revkin was invited to join the Working Group on the Anthropocene advising the International Commission on Stratigraphy and served from 2011 through 2016. The teaching resource can be used in study group tasks for discussions about the processes involved in crystal formations; as a printed handout for each pupil to review and annotate, or for display on the interactive whiteboard using the images included in the resource to open class discussion. Indoor Experiment - This goes along with the point above, but I want to call it out because sometimes you need a good indoor experiment for days with inclement weather (or smoke!). This can be your project.The caves containing larger crystals will be located in deeper levels with temperatures closer to, but no higher than, 58 degrees Celsius," he said.
