Starting from a kit containing a salt and user instructions, classes had to prepare a crystal that met specific criteria according to their category of age. The composition of the salt – potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) – was only disclosed to the participants during the final Awards Ceremony. This contest positively exceeded our expectations with almost 100 participating classes (ca. 1800 participants) and 54 specimens received over all categories. }, number={12}, journal={CHIMIA}, author={Perret, Didier and Hagemann, Hans and Černý, Radovan and Renner, Christoph and Giannini, Enrico and Guénée, Laure and Besnard, Céline and Gérard, David and Windels, Lionel}, year={2014}, month={Dec.}, pages={893} }
