Since we probably won't be seeing too many real ones here in sunny South Carolina, we decided to create some of our own snowflakes today. Having studied W. A. Bentley's micro-photographs of real snowflakes from the early 1900's, we decided to try our hand at recreating some of his images. By the time we were finished, the floor of our schoolroom looked like it had actually snowed with all the little scraps. Oh well! We learned that snowflakes always have 6 points/sides, so we worked hard to make these scientifically correct (unlike my engineer brother who has square snowflakes posted on his blog!).
