Level IV snow physics: from graupel to stellar dendrites, on to snow pits and crystal metamorphosis, and finally avalanche transceivers to grid searches for buried skiers. Across the country every 8th grade Earth Science class does the water cycle, but none to my knowledge does it quite this way. A unit that is one part theory, one part hands on experimentation, one part research, and one part practical application. A model that stays true to form for much of what we teach here. (In the picture Larry Robjent is talking about the formation and shape of individual snow crystals. He is using the interactive Smart Board which is the result of previous parent Annual Fund gifts.)
