Snowflake experiment

     

Today my class did an experiment to see what makes a snowflake fall faster or slower. On the left you can see a paper snowflake, me and my friend Mandy. When everyone finished their paper snowflake my teacher took them. All of the snowflakes at to start on top of a meter stick which was on a chair. Mine was not the fastest. Three snowflakes fell less than one second! It turns out snowflakes with giant holes in the middle of them fall faster and snow flakes fall slower when they lay down flat and has a lot of surface. They fall faster with a sharp point and with a skinny surface and that is it. Read my next post to see how I make snowflakes. Bye!
