# Salty, science-y snowflakes

  ![Image of Salty, science-y snowflakes](https://files.schudio.com/st-marys-ce-primary-school/images/blog/Screenshot_2025-01-16_15.39.06.png)  16 January 2025   [Class 1](https://www.st-marys-colton.staffs.sch.uk/blog/category/class-1)

Today we started an experiment that will take all week to finish.

We cut out paper snowflakes and have covered them in extremely salty water.

We hope to observe salt crystals forming on our snowflakes as the water evaporates, or dries.
