LET IT SNOW LET IT SNOW LET IT SNOW! 
​WINTER THEMED SNOWFLAKE ACTIVITES

Snowflakes: A snowflake begins to form when an extremely cold water droplet freezes onto a pollen or dust particle in the sky. This creates an ice crystal. As the ice crystal falls to the ground, water vapor freezes onto the primary crystal, building new crystals – the six arms of the snowflake.

The Science Behind The Snowflake  
ACTIVITY and REQUIREMENTS: Select ONE out of the following activities on the following pages to complete for this week. The idea is to develop an appreciation for complex structures in nature and observe patterns in nature in relationship to the real world.  Make sure to go to instructions and resources for better understanding on each lesson. 

SNOWFLAKE THEMES!          
· Drawing Snowflakes: Requirement: Draw 3 unique and original snowflakes.
· Coffee Filter or Copy Paper Snowflakes: Requirement: Create 3 snowflakes either out of coffee filters or copy paper.
· 3-D Paper Snowflake: Requirement: Create 1 completed 3d paper snowflake.
· Pasta Snowflake: Requirement: Create 2 detailed snowflakes using pasta or other items from your household.  Does not need to be glued down or painted.  Simply take a picture and dismantle afterwards.
