A seed crystal is dropped into an unstable supersaturatedsolution of sodium acetate NaC2H3O2 and it completelycrystallized in front of your eyes. This chemistry more... demonstration is prepared by heating 700 grams of sodiumacetate in 50mL of water in a flask until all the soliddissolves. The solution is then cooled back to roomtemperature. Drop a seed crystal and see the very coolresults.

Why does the solution not re-solidify as it cools down before the seed is dropped in it?

- because
  the solution cannot resolidify because there's no focal point for the crystal to start forming, and it's somewhat stable.
