The Science of Snowflakes Warm Up: How does air pressure effect weather?

No two snowflakes are alike… Snow starts out as dust particles in clouds Temperature change controls how a snowflake forms. The Chemistry of Snowflakes Click me!

How does the molecular structure of water effect the shape of snowflakes? It’s all about those polar molecules! (Get it? Polar… as in North Pole… as in cold?) It’s Ok to Be Smart: The Science of Snowflakes
