Winter wonders

So while surfing the Sci News for Kids site I came across this website SnowCrystals.com . Although it isn’t snowing yet, I thought it would be perfect for my first post. There are 3 activities on this that I thought maybe suitable for Frida and/or the Science Club.
The first one is Snowflake Watching. This simply involves viewing snowflakes with a magnifying glass. There is even a printable PDF reference guide to the different type of crystals. This might be problematic for the club if no snow is falling but I will definitely do this with Frida.
The next one is Snowflake Fossils. This would be something I would prepare ahead of time and probably more suited for the 5-7 year olds, although Frida does enjoy trying to look through a microscope. Basically you collect snowflakes on microscope slides and then place cold super glue on top carefully sandwiching it with a cover slip. The problem with this is that you need a microscope to view the slides ( a good reason to buy one I think or maybe get an old one donated).
The last activity is Ice Spikes. Ice Spikes are spikes that form on ice cubes. Apparently, it rarely happens with regular tap water but distilled water will produce Ice spikes. The physics may be understandable to older kids. Again I may be over estimating what the kids will understand.
It would be plenty just to center the activities around the thought “Water can take several forms”. Then play with snow, ice, water and maybe steam. Do the above activities and maybe throw in making paper snowflakes.
I will post once I’ve done the activities and report how it went over.
