Super Snowflakes!

(12/19) Students in 3rd and 4th grade gifted participated in a STEM activity by growing crystals! Students studied how crystals were formed in snowflakes, and learned that a super-saturated solution of borax and hot water would create a beautiful crystal snowflake model! Students predicted, measured, estimated, observed, and were amazed at how their crystals turned out! They looked at the crystals with a magnifying glass and compared their crystals to the snowflake photographs taken by Wilson Bentley (Snowflake Bentley). This activity was fun, engaging, and students left with a beautiful holiday decoration!
