The definition of saturation was given, and examples shown to explain how a solution becomes saturated. The term supersaturated was introduced and explained. A lab investigation was undertaken to demonstrate supersaturation, and then to demonstrate how the dissolved substance in the supersaturated solution will be forced to "solidify out" by placing 1 small grain of the solid in the solution. While the solution was cooling, a demonstration of the attraction of a thin stream of water to a charged balloon was done.
