Snow Science Winter Camp

 

 

Learn how snowflakes form and about the different shapes of snow crystals. Look at snowflakes under a microscope, study the water cycle, and look closely at animal adaptations. Find tracks in the snow on nature walks, go sledding, build snow forts, and make snowflake crafts! 

 

Do you know about Snowflake Bentley? The man who dedicated his life to photographing snowflakes, and proved that every single one is indeed, unique?! We will take a closer look at Wilson Bentley’s work, while conducting our own snowflake experiments
