I decided to show the third and fourth graders how SNOW can bring together science, art, and math!
I was inspired by Free Technology for Educators blog this week. It had several great links about man-made snow, "snowflake Bentley", and more!
I took his videos and the idea of a tinker tray such as this one created by "What Can You do with Paper and Glue" and created my own snowflake creation activity.
Students had access to q-tips, pipe cleaners, two sizes of popsicle sticks, beads, pom pom puffs, construction paper, and glue. The idea was to create a dendrite or iconic six sided snowflake.
Below are a variety of the creations created by the students this week on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday!
If you have not the book entitled "Snowflake Bentley", then you need to add it to your winter must-read list.
