Snowflakes have six sides. A diamond has many sides. Minerals like these that have flat smooth sides are all called crystals. Crystals are made of molecules that are all the same shape, and are arranged in a neat pattern. This pattern gives crystals their beautiful geometric shapes. Some crystals can be cut and polished into sparkling jewelry. These crystals are called gemstones. Diamonds, emeralds, amethyst, and rubies are crystals. Some gemstones have colorful names that match the gem. There are green phantom quartz, rainbow obsidian, and Oregon jelly opal. Gemstones form in the Earth over a long period of time. It took about a billion years to form the Hope Diamond, which you can now see in the Smithsonian Institution at the Museum of Natural History. Other crystals form much quicker. In fact, you can grow crystals yourself using just a few everyday ingredients. You can grow crystals from sugar, salt, Epsom salts, or other chemical salts that you can buy at a chemistry supply or drug store. To start, you will need a saturated solution. Mix the Epsom salt, or whatever, in hot water until the water has dissolved all that it can dissolve. This is called a saturated solution. Next, you will need a place where the crystals can grow undisturbed. A glass jar with a large opening at the top will work fine. The crystals will also need something to attach to, so you can put a rock in the jar, or hang a piece of string into the middle of the jar. You can hang the string from a pencil that you lay across the top of the jar. Once your saturated solution has cooled, pour it into the jar, and set the jar someplace where it will not be bumped for a long time. Crystals should begin to grow on the rock or the string. Of course, crystals are not alive, but people still say that crystals "grow." If your crystals don't seem to be growing, do a little troubleshooting. Make sure that the jar is in a place where the temperature stays the same. Make sure that it isn't getting bumped around. Also, check to be sure that the jar was a clean one. Once your crystals start growing, you can take them out and look at them through a magnifying glass. See what shape they are, and how many sides they have. You might want to grow and compare different kinds of crystals. If you want to grow pretty ones to keep, you might like to add a drop or two of food coloring to the solution or put the food coloring right on the rock. Grow different kinds to make a crystal garden. Then, if you would like to look at some of the really big, gorgeous crystals that took ages to form inside the Earth, you might like to visit the Museum of Natural History at the Smithsonian or another museum that has an exhibit of gems and minerals. You can also do a little research on the Internet to find pictures of spectacular crystals. You can find close up pictures of lacy snowflake crystals, and decide for yourself if no two snowflakes are alike. Whether you go to see gemstones in a museum, look at magnified pictures of snowflakes, or grow homemade crystals in a jar, I think you will agree that crystals are one part of the science of matter that is both interesting and beautiful. edhelper.com 6L[WK*UDGH5HDGLQJ&RPSUHKHQVLRQDQG0DWK Name: edHelper Crystals Questions 1.

  • Highland Fairways Welcomes Cher Boney ~ Office Manager and Andres Bilbao ~ Maintenance
    Volume 34, Issue 2 Lakeland, Florida February 2021 Highland Fairways Welcomes Cher Boney ~ Office Manager and Andres Bilbao ~ Maintenance During the past few weeks, two new faces are in Highland Fairways. Hired as our office manager, Cher Boney, comes to us with a plethora of experience. She began her career as an Office Manager for a 55+ Condo Association in Inverness. Then she moved to Office Coordinator with Sun Communities at Ariana Villages and finally at Kings Manor in Lakeland. Due to her mom’s health, she took a two-year hiatus to become a full-time caregiver for her mother and granddaughter. When Cher was ready to return to full-time employment, Highland Fairways had a position open. Born and raised in Manassas, Virginia, Cher moved to Florida in 2000. She and Steve (Staley) live in Lakeland with their furry best friend Layla, a ten-and-a-half-year-old Boxer/Pit Bull mix. Cher’s two sons, Jordan and Brenden, live in Gainesville, Virginia. She has two stepchildren (children of love) Cody Staley and Ashtin Delapaz. Three amazing grandchildren – Khale, Kade, and (Princess) Jaxtyn round out the fami- ly. In addition to spending time with family and friends, Cher’s hobbies include boating, camping, photog- raphy, and collecting crystals and stones. When asked how she liked Highland Fairways, she replied, “I am enjoying being part of the HF team. I look forward to the time we can resume normal operations, and I can meet more residents.” Welcome, Cher! Another new face is Andres Bilbao, our new maintenance man.

  • Well-Grounded
    Well-Grounded The Story of Groundhog Day Why celebrate a rodent? There are religious holidays of all types, national holidays that honor heroes and events, and even silly holidays like National Candy Corn Day that we celebrate “just for fun.” But a day devoted to a chubby rodent that spends a lot of time underground? Now that’s a holiday worth discussing. Like many unusual holidays, this one goes back centuries. Early European Christians celebrated the Feast of the Presentation, honoring the day when Mary and Joseph first brought the infant Jesus to the Temple in Jerusalem, 40 days after his birth on Christmas Day. Later, this became the day when priests blessed the candles—candle mass—used in this celebration. Candlemas Day, February 2, merged with other pre-Christian celebrations, marking the first possible day when hibernating animals might awaken and the end of winter was in sight. Candlemas Day and the Hedgehog Ancient wisdom from the United Kingdom maintains that if there is nice weather on Candlemas Day, harsh winter weather will follow: If Candlemas Day is clear and bright, Winter will have another bite. If Candlemas Day brings cloud and rain, Winter is gone and will not come again. The Romans brought the Candlemas Day weather superstition north to the Germanic peoples they encountered during their conquest of northern Europe. The Germans incorporated it into their own folklore. They concluded that if the hedgehog, a common hibernating animal in their area, awoke to sunshine on Candlemas Day, he would cast a shadow and thus predict continued winter weather.
