Learning Intention
What did you learn today?
We learned and proved that snowflakes have 6 sides (like a hexagon), they are symmetrical and no 2 are alike just like 'Snowflake Bentley' learned over 100 years ago.
How did you show what you learned?
We took our very scientific tool (black card stock) outside and collected snowflakes. We used magnifying glasses and pencils to observe and record the different snowflakes we found. Lots were broken but we did get to see a few intact snowflakes.
What do you need to learn next?
We started to wonder about lines of symmetry and how to prove how many lines of symmetry a hexagon actually has.
