This time of year, I always like to share the story of Snowflake Bentley. He was a real person, and he spent his life studying snowflakes. He is the reason we know a lot of what we know about them today, such as... no two are alike, and they (almost) always have 6 sides or points!
Click the video to the left to watch a read aloud of the story of Snowflake Bentley.
Scroll through the photos of real snowflakes taken with a microscope camera, just like Snowflake Bentley saw.
