Snowflakes Lab

On the first day of class, we were introduced to the criteria and then were provided with the experience of engaging in a snowflake lab. Each individual was set to a particular task, in which i was entitled to get the materials for the snowflake lab. I thought that by assigning each individual in the group a particular task on the first day that it showed structure. On days that we did do labs, each member of the group can be efficient on staying on task provided that they know what their job is in the group. I really enjoyed the snowflake lab but i did find it a little bit confusing. For certain parts of the directions it said to repeat that step a certain number of times which i thought could be pretty confusing for a second or third grader. Even though the lab was a bit confusing, it was also very enjoyable to see all the different shapes that individuals made their snowflakes. For the most part, the snowflakes were symmetrical and turned out, I only saw a few that were not symmetrical (including my own).
