Snowflakes for ‘Tweens and Teens

January 27th, 2009

I have more ideas for learning about snowflakes in your homeschool. Your ‘tween and teen might be interested in these ideas.

~Did you know that shape of a snowflake is determined by the temperature outside? About.com has answers to questions that are most commonly asked about snow.

~Try this experiment with your high schooler: Make a Crystalline Model.

~You can also make a Borax snowflake with older children.

~Watch this time elapsed snowflake-video to see a snowflake grow. The website, Physical Review Focus, where this video appears, also has more information about snowflakes. The information is appropriate for teens.

Enjoy learning more about the snow with your ‘tween and teen!

Verse of the Day

  • At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them and said, "Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 18:1-4, ESV)
