Students explore crystals through the story Snowflake Bentley and then create crystal pictures of their own. In this interdisciplinary lesson, they create a crystal web chart on chart paper, design artificial snowflakes, and write poems...

Students investigate the concept of a snowflake and how they are formed in nature. They conduct research in order to find images as models for an art project. Students create a snowflake with Crayola Markers and scissors to cut the shape.

Students explore satellite data and graphing. In this weather data analysis math and science lesson, students analyze NASA satellite data to draw conclusions about geographical areas where precipitation might have happened. Students...

Students discuss the conditions needed for snowflakes to fall. Individually, they follow directions to make their own snowflakes out of construction paper. To end the lesson, they decorate their snowflakes with glitter and hang...

Students discover how snowflakes in nature are really formed, and recreate this process with paper and glue.

Fourth graders explore physical changes and the true life story of Wilson Bentley. They observe the changes that take place with snowflakes. Students discuss what happens when snow flakes melt. They create their own snowflakes using...

Fifth graders read the book, 'Snowflake Bentley' by Jacqueline Briggs Martin. They gather and make a list of information about snowflakes and crystals. Then they make their own real crystal snowflake creation and observe the crystals...

Students discover how snowflakes in nature are really formed, and recreate this process with paper and glue. This art lesson gets some scientific learning in as well.

Pupils use their listening skills in order to follow diretions to create a paper snowflake. They listen as the directions are read, use their scissors and create a snowflake using a cofffee filter. Students practice using their fine...

Students increase eye-hand coordination as they create decorative snowflakes out of recycled packing peanuts.

First graders, exploring lines of symmetry, follow directions to create a symmetrical snowflake from their own homemade icing. As a class, they discuss lines of symmetry and determine if specific shapes are symmetrical. After the lesson,...

Students study the design of snowflakes.  In this snow lesson, students discover the different shapes of a snowflake, and their similarities.  Students study snowflakes outside, then create their own with popsicle sticks...

Students investigate Koch's Snowflake. In this geometry lesson, students identify the properties of creating Koch's snowflake. They solve problems dealing with fractals and patterns.

Students investigate the properties of Koch's snowflake. In this geometry lesson, students investigate fractals and patterns. They create Koch's snowflake using Cabri software.

Learners discuss Snowflake Bentley, the first snowflake photographer, and use art supplies such as Fiskars¿¿ Punches and Snow Texture Plates to create individual snowflake book report covers.

Who can grow the best crystals? Challenge class members to develop strategies for enhancing growth in the crystals. Through a lab investigation, learners study the properties of crystals and test the effectiveness of different...

Students read "The Snowy Day," by Ezra Jack Keats and construct snowflakes to decorate the classroom walls. They examine how snowflakes are formed and study new vocabulary words.

Students view examples of snowflake persons previous students have made. Using construction paper, thye make a large cut out of a snowflake and add the proper clothing to wear during winter. They discuss how the snowflake is symmetrical...

Discover the icy world of snow from the comfort of the indoors. Young meteorologists study visuals and a video to examine snow formation and structure. Using the information they learn, scientists follow a procedure to construct a...

Pupils create snowflakes using white glue, plastic fruit baskets, glitter, and dark construction paper in this art lesson that teaches the concept of printmaking. Emphasis is placed upon understanding and applying media, techniques, and...

Third graders develop an understanding of the Caldecott Award and are exposed to an interesting biography through the picture book, Snowflake Bentley.

Students develop an appreciation for complex structures in nature. They observe patterns in nature in relationship to the Real World. Students use observation skills to assist in problem solving. They show comprehension of the concepts...

Learners create their own crystal snowflake. In this snowflake lesson, students discuss how snow forms and the individuality of snowflakes. They make their own snowflake (crystals) using pipe cleaners, string, and borax.

Students classify snowflake crystals using geometric descriptors. They hypothesize about the temperatures at which the snowflakes were formed using a temperature/shape chart. They collect and examine snowflakes before drawing and...
