Highlights from “Homeschool Adventures – The Science of Snowflakes"

We had an amazing time exploring various snow-themed activities:

Salt Painting Snowflakes: The children created stunning snowflake designs using salt painting techniques. They outlined their snowflakes with glue on paper and then carefully sprinkled colored salt to add vibrant textures and patterns. The artwork turned out beautifully and showcased each child’s unique creativity.
Making Fake Snow with Baking Soda and Shaving Cream: To bring a snowy atmosphere indoors, we mixed baking soda with shaving cream to create fluffy, tactile fake snow. This sensory activity was a hit.
Snowball Launcher Construction: Combining fun with basic engineering, the children built their snowball launchers using simple household materials. This hands-on project not only provided endless entertainment but also introduced fundamental physics concepts and the importance of teamwork.
Crystallizing Snowflakes with Pipe Cleaners and Salt Water: We crafted intricate snowflake shapes from pipe cleaners and then submerged them in salt water to observe the crystallization process. Watching the snowflakes form and grow was both educational and mesmerizing, sparking curiosity about the science behind snowflakes.
