The final day of our experiment. All schools managed to create impressive stalactites. 

Süreyya AVCI-Kıreli Şehit Kadir Kayhan İlkokulu, your result is amazing!!!

FINAL CONCLUSION

With the help of baking soda we managed to create stalactites and stalagmites in our classroom. Actually in nature happens exactly the same process but much more slowly. 

The water that penetrates the rocks and drips into the caves, drags calcium carbonate (same substance as baking soda) from the stones and drips to form stalactites and stalagmites. This whole process took many years to do. 

And of course stalactites and stalagmites are not the same. We have observed this in our experiment too: all the schools created stalactites and stalagmites but none were the same as the other!!!
