Description

This study features the physics of snow crystal development, past and present snow physicists, and famed snow crystal photographer, "Snowflake" Bentley and his remarkable photographic genius of snow crystals using an old bellows camera. Students look at the varieties of snowflakes and their geometry. Check out one of nature's most astonishing miracles and wonders in science and mathematics.

The wonder of snow on a microscopic level is its own world.

Students draw and take notes in the activity guide and a suggested journal. They can learn to design their own virtual snowflakes and choose from varying projects and activities from the study guide and MathArt class Website.

What's included:

1 Quick Start Guide
3 PowerPoints
19-page activity guide
Web resources: projects, activities, videos

Subjects covered:

Math - basic geometry of snowflakes
Physics of snow crystal formation
History of famous snow physicists and photoraphers
Science - snowflake formation
Art - snowflake projects and activities given in web resources
Technology - use in photographing snowflakes

Questions addressed:

How do snow crystals form?
How many different kinds are there?
Can scientists make them in the lab?

CCSS3.G.A.1

Understand that shapes in different categories (e.g., rhombuses, rectangles, and others) may share attributes (e.g., having four sides), and that the shared attributes can define a larger category (e.g., quadrilaterals). Recognize rhombuses, rectangles, and squares as examples of quadrilaterals, and draw examples of quadrilaterals that do not belong to any of these subcategories.

CCSS4.G.A.3

Recognize a line of symmetry for a two-dimensional figure as a line across the figure such that the figure can be folded along the line into matching parts. Identify line-symmetric figures and draw lines of symmetry.

CCSS5.G.B.3

Understand that attributes belonging to a category of two-dimensional figures also belong to all subcategories of that category. For example, all rectangles have four right angles and squares are rectangles, so all squares have four right angles.

CCSS5.G.B.4

Classify two-dimensional figures in a hierarchy based on properties.

CCSS7.G.A.1

Solve problems involving scale drawings of geometric figures, including computing actual lengths and areas from a scale drawing and reproducing a scale drawing at a different scale.
