Snowflakes are actually tiny crystals made of ice.
You need:
1.Twist together some pieces of pipe cleaners to make the shape of a snowflake.
Trim to size with an old pair scissors not to damage new ones.
2.Fill the jar with water about an inch above what would cover your snowflake.
3.Bring the water to a boil (ask an adult to help you with this part).
Once its boiling, start stirring in some Borax.
Add 3 tablespoons of Borax to 1 measured cup of water or until it stops dissolving.
The water will start to look slightly foggy once it becomes too saturated.
4.Pour the mixture of water and borax into the jar.
5.Now leave your snowflake undisturbed and wait overnight, or for two nights.
You will notice the crystallization as the water starts to cool.
When you take out the snowflake, it will be covered in little crystals!
Lay the snowflakes on paper towels and let it dry for another night.

Diamonds and table salt are crystals too.
