6-year-old’s mom here: We are wanting to explore the frozen world under the FoldScope. Successfully froze water on a slide, but there was really no “wow” feature to what we saw. (6-year-old said it looked just like water!!)

Do any of you have some ideas of what a 6-year-old and a mom can do with materials found around the home to 1) study the frozen world and 2) study crystals via the Foldscope. In reference to crystals, I did see a post about colored sugar which was cool. Please let me know if there are any other ideas.

If it helps I have a deep freeze freezer which we keep at -25. Also we have old snow in our freezer.

THANKS!
