Snowflakes, Lava, and Tardigrades, oh my!

DescriptionTemperature affects everything from animals to vegetables tominerals. In today’s grab bag session, we are going to discover how temperature influences snowflake shape, igneous rock formation, the sex of baby turtles, and my favorites, tardigrades.Maddy agreed that if we get ten comments on this session,she will draw a tardigrade. Please comment so the world can get its promised drawing. Jennifer really wants to see it.CreditsCo-founders of MooseEel Media, LLC: Jennifer Vandenberg& Maddy CableOriginal art: Maddy CableResearch: Jennifer VandenbergScript: Jennifer Vandenberg & Maddy CableEditing: Jennifer VandenbergeEditing software: CanvaMusic: Remember This Moment by Patrick RundbladComment below (with kindness) Email us at [email protected] if you want…Subscribe and like!!!Highlighted Link of the SessionSnowflakechartTriplePoint of WaterLink to Information Used in Session 10The Morphology Diagram: Snow Crystals.comhttps://www.snowcrystals.com/morphology/morphology.html Are All Snowflakes Really Different?
