HOWTO grow your own snowflakes

December 22, 2010

This fun HOWTO from Caltech shows you how to grow your own snowflakes at home with a coke bottle, a couple of styrofoam cups, some dry ice, and a few other common household items.

I find the effect of electric fields on growing ice crystals particularly fascinating.

Happy holidays!
