How to Make Snow (If You're Not Elsa)

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Low temperature and, more surprisingly, low humidity, are required for snow formation. The process is explained for middle schoolers, with a few references to the Disney film, Frozen, just for fun. This cool video is a crisp addition to your lessons on the water cycle or on weather. Though most of the video is of Hank teaching, it is occasionally supported by creative computer animation, photos, and text that highlights particular concepts.
