We had a nice mini vacation- two snow days plus Saturday and Sunday. How fun was that. Back for one day and then off for Christmas break! Make it a point to get outside and enjoy all the snow.
Have you checked out the Snowflake Gallery yet? It is posted in the favorites list on the right side. Click on Snowflake Fossils on the left side of the website page, under snow activities and learn how to preserve the image.
If you are willing to do this I will supply the material. I will give you 2 slides and cover slips. Post a comment that you are intested and I will give you material after break.
In January we will examine them under a microscope and
photograph them like we did the onion cells.
Many of you did watch the videos that came attached to the blog pages and left comments.
I will continue to post science news and projects from class. Be checking back to view some of the slide shows created for our pathogen project. Leave some good comments for others to see.
Have a wonderful break.
Mrs. C.

I liked the snow fossils and they looked really iteresting and cool,I hope you put more coll stuff on this website
I would like to do that,but one quetion will we get extra credit in class for this?
it looks interesting and i want to learn more about it on this wonderfull website!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh and yes I do.
I think making "snowflake fossils" is a great and fun idea. I would be very interested in doing it. I think it would be great for us to learn about snowflakes and then have our own replica of a snowflake. It sounds really cool!!
Hi friends- I will add you to the list for snowflake supplies. I will have them ready the first day we return. I brought supplies home so the next snowy day I will be outside getting my slide done. Did you know that there are only 4 different shapes for snow crystals? Check out this page for more information on the science of how snowflakes are made.
