In this episode of GSC at Home, we’re going to be putting our hard hats on, and delving deep into caves and caverns, as we talk about stalactites with James! Learn about what stalactites are and how they're formed.
To make your very own stalactite at home, you'll need: string, scissors, small objects for weighing down (weights, paperclips, etc), salt or any crystalline substance (baking soda, detergent powder), 2 identical glasses and a plate.
Suitable for the whole family. View on YouTube.
