Aren't those cards the coolest thing ever? I think so. The snowflakes were poked into a thin acrylic sheet and then lit with a LED. The cards were a great school project; lessons in rotational symmetry, measurement and electric circuits all rolled into one. You'll find the tutorial here.
I know the kids really enjoyed making these. Despite the fact that they each had to bring in $3.00 to cover the costs of the acrylic, the battery and the LED, my students are already asking if we can make them again next year.
Really beauti9ful! No wonder the kids love this!
ReplyDeleteQuite possibly the coolest things ever, Liz! They would make fantastic wintry night lights.
