ICE CRYSTALS
Snowflakes are ice crystals that have gathered in the topmost, cold layers of a cloud.
An ice crystal is hexagonal and symmetrical. It begins from a germ in the middle.
On page 11 in the book you see how an ice crystal is formed. Draw the forming of your own ice crystal and begin with the germ.
The ice crystal is formed in the cloud. It consists of water molecules. The warmer the temperature of the cloud, the more water molecules it contains. Ice crystals therefore grow more quickly in warm clouds and develop more details.
Ice crystals with few details.
Ice crystals with many details.
When ice crystals freeze together they become a snowflake. Draw a snowflake.
My drawing:
What happens with the snowflakes when they get heavy enough?
Snow consists of ice crystals. Ice crystals consist of water. Water has no colour.
When the light shines on the ice, it is reflected in the ice crystals, and the eye sees it as the colour white.
What does snow consist of?
Why is the snow white?
What is the person in the picture doing?
