This is a plan for a read-aloud of the book “The Secret Life of a Snowflake,” by Kenneth Libbrecht. It provides questioning support, activities, and a culminating task to help students explore the characteristics of scientists. It pairs well with the book “Snowflake Bentley,” by Jacqueline Briggs Martin, and helps students learn more about the physical characteristics of snowflakes.
