How to:

On a snowy day, you can go outdoors to catch snowflakes with pieces of black construction paper or cloth.  The dark background makes it easier to see the snowflakes.  Use a magnifier and copies of the Snowflake ID Chart to see how many shapes you can identify.  Then, try playing the snowflake game (see tab for instructions).
