Let’s Make Frost

by: Robert A. Cohen and William R. Veal

Snowflakes are made of ice. We think of ice as being frozen water. However, if you have ever seen a snowflake, chances are you have noticed that snowflakes do not look like most examples of frozen water we are used to seeing (e.g., ice cubes, icicles, ice skating rinks). Snow looks like it is made up of little crystals because they are indeed crystals. In this Activity, you will investigate why snow is made up of crystals.
