The Water CycleSnowflakes form at the condensation stage.
The water vapor condenses directly into ice!
The Water CycleSnowflakes form at the condensation stage.
The water vapor condenses directly into ice!
This process is called
“sublimation.”
Every Every snowflake starts out as the same basic shape.
By the time each snowflake touches the ground, it is
uniqueunique.

Symmetry – Two Dimensional Polygons
Key words:
A regular polygon is a polygon in which all sides are the same length.
Symmetry – Two Dimensional Polygons
Key words:
A regular polygon is a polygon in which all sides are the same length.
A line of symmetry for a polygon is any line on which the polygon can be folded so that one half of the polygon will fall exactly on the other half.

How does a snowflake grow?
Initial formation of a snow crystal around a dust particle in the cloud.
Crystal grows into a hexagonal prism.
