Why do snowflakes look different? Explore the geometry in the sky and atmospheric crystal blueprints in this educational homeschool STEM science podcast.
High up in winter clouds, invisible water vapor gathers around microscopic floating specks of dust, assembling into hexagonal fortresses according to strict crystal blueprint rules. Because water molecules naturally bond at fixed sixty-degree angles, every snowflake starts with six symmetrical sides. Yet depending on tiny shifts in temperature and humidity, the cloud sculpts completely different shapes—thin flat plates, slender hollow…
