Are you in a place where snow falls in winter? If so, try catching snowflakes. Then take a close look. Can you find two snowflakes that look alike?

See a variety of beautiful snowflake images demonstrating how each one is different in this slideshow from Scientific American.

[Free Registration/Login Required] An informational text about snowflakes and how they are formed. A question sheet is available to help students build skills in reading comprehension.

Using Snowflake Bentley as a model, students create a working definition of multigenre text and then use that definition to create their own multigenre piece about winter or another theme.

In this lesson plan using the book Snowflake Bentley, a Caldecott Medal-winning book, students will work in small groups to create an original multigenre work about winter.

Step-by-step illustrated directions on how to make a stunning 3D paper star-shaped snowflake.

No two snowflakes are the same, but they may have the same form. Learn about the basic forms of snowflakes as well as how some scientists classify them. Explore the site to find out other information as well.

While reading "Snowflake Bentley", students will observe different snowflakes and identify how they are alike and different in their shape and design. They will then research snowflake designs and create original snowflakes using designs...

Students will connect the centers of snowflakes with a line preferably by applying the point-slope formula.

In this activity, students will learn about supersaturated solutions. They will observe the beginning formation of crystals as the solution cools and by the next day, the students will see the formation of a snowflake made by the crystals.
