Make Your Own Stalactites and Stalagmites
Both stalactites and stalagmites are rock formations that form on the ceilings and floors of caves.
They form when water drips from the cave ceiling over thousands of years. Both have a tapering shape that is larger at the base and form a point.
Stalactites hang from the ceiling of a cave and are formed from mineral deposits left behind from slowly dripping water.
Stalagmites grow in the same way, but forms from from the cave floor upward. As the water drips from the ceiling above the two are formed simultaneously. Make your own with this cool experiment!
