Exploring Winter Environment Through the Snowflakes

Our Environmental Club embarked on a chilly adventure to explore the magic of snowflakes and their role in nature during winter. Although we have no snow now, we gathered to discover the wonders hidden within these tiny frozen crystals.

We watched a video about snowflakes. We were fascinated to find out how each snowflake is uniquely shaped due to its intricate crystalline structure.  We uncovered the secrets of how snowflakes form and why they come in such a variety of shapes and sizes. No two snowflakes are the same. Each snowflake, we realized, is a tiny masterpiece, adding to the wonder of winter.

But our exploration didn’t stop there. We also learned about the important role snowflakes play in our environment. They provide crucial moisture for plants and animals, contributing to the water cycle. We also discussed the impact of climate change on snowfall patterns, highlighting the importance of environmental conservation. Snowflakes may be small, but they remind us of the big impact nature has on our world.

The children then painted themselves catching their unique snowflakes with their mouths or hands.
