I learned a bit of science while doing this but if you think about it, its really just common sense. The Borax is in a cup filled with boiling water and inside the cup is a pipe cleaner in the shape of a snow flake. The borax melts and grabs on to the pipe cleaner and the water cools over time, when the water gets colder, the borax forms again.

@ Slenderman - Can you explain this in terms of what happens to molecules when they heat up and what happens to them when they cool down?
