  1. Snowflake Symmetry Rotations, Reflections, and Translations in Nature

  2. Six sided crystals • Snowflakes are all six sided because of their chemistry • Snowflakes are made of water molecules • Water molecules are “polar” – they have an electrical charge • The charge makes the molecules look like Mickey Mouse!

  3. Power of Three • Three water molecules that stick together form the base of the snowflake

  4. These keep adding more until it gets so heavy it falls to the ground

  5. Avalanche! • Snow is very heavy • When snow piles up, it can fall in an avalanche • Avalanches can be very dangerous, so watch out for warning signs in mountainous areas

  6. Just a few of millions….

  7. ….and a few more because I love them.

  8. …and what family is complete without a few oddballs?

  9. Frost forms on windows and plants. It must have a catalyst.

  10. Solid, Liquid, GasWater is a marvelous thing!
