When Snowflakes Fall
Snow storm in a Jar What we need: Glass jar Baby oil White paint Alka Seltzer
Coffee Filter Snowflakes
Frost in a Can Materials: Can Water Ice Salt Thermometer
What happened? Draw a picture of what happened. What is the temp of the water in the can? What is the temp when we add salt and ice?
Snowflakes Based on the temp that our water and ice got to, what snow flake would form at that temp?
