How to Make Fake Snow Recipes featuring Cornstarch

Creating fake snow using the recipes found on this set of How to Make Fake Snow Recipes printables will be so much fun. Your children will find that both of the recipes create a different type of snow. They will notice one type of snow is wet and sticky. The other type is light and powdery. Children can use both types of snow to complete STEM challenges.

This is the second set of How to Make Fake Snow Recipes I have shared with you. You will want to take a moment to check out the fake snow made with baking soda recipes. The recipes are shared on Blockly algorithm blocks just like the ones in this set.

You will find the recipes on the algorithm printable, but I thought I would share with you here too.

Getting the Recipe and Algorithm Worksheets Ready

You will need to download How to Make Fake Snow Recipes with Cornstarch and Algorithm worksheets.
Then you will need to decide whether you want to print out one or both of the algorithm sheets. You can print them out on a black and white printer.
Finally, you will need to print out one for each of your children.

Exploring the Recipe and Algorithm Worksheets

Your children will need to follow the steps to make the fake snow displayed on Blockly blocks on each worksheet.
Once your children have made the fake snow, they will need to complete the challenge that is on their algorithm sheet.
