Chemical Reaction Science Experiments In The Classroom

Mrs. Kennedy's class made crystal snowflakes! Students measured hot water and borax, used food coloring, glass beakers and magnifying glasses. They studied Snowflake Bentley, who is one of the first known photographers of snowflakes and students also learned how snowflakes are formed in clouds by dust and water vapor. They discussed water molecules and the meaning of the word dissolved and compared their observations to the process in the clouds that creates snowy weather.
