Kids can see all snowflakes have 6 sides and not one looks the same!
materials:
black paper or black fabric
magnifying glass
instructions:
1. Place paper in the freezer for a few hours to prepare it. Then, put the paper outside on a snowy day.
3. Let some snowflakes land on it
4. Use the magnifying glass to see the snowflakes up close.
2. Experiment with Insulation and Ice - Cocopreme helped kids learn about thermal insulators and how they affect the temperature of ice. Document what factor caused the ice to melt the fastest: salt, newspaper, or aluminum foil. Also, try other forms of insulation.
