We are back with another quick and mesmerizing experiment today! Today's experiment is the tin hedgehog experiment, don't worry, this experiment doesn't require us to shove a hedgehog into a tin! I am guessing that it's called the tin hedgehog experiment because of the spiky metallic cluster you get when you do it. If you're interested to know more about this experiment, just keep scrolling down!  

What you'll need: 

  • Tin chlorine solution 
  • Zinc pellet
  • Vial or glass jar

What to do: 

  1. Get your tin chlorine and pour it into a vial. 
  2. Add the zinc pellet and all you have to do now is watch it grow! For this tin hedgehog to completely form you'll have to wait about 15 minutes. 

Why does this happen?:
