Description

❄️ Ever wonder why you never see two snowflakes that look exactly the same? It's one of winter's greatest mysteries! Join Dr. Owl, Emma, and Ziggy as they shrink down to the size of a speck of dust to take a wild ride through the clouds and discover the magical science behind winter's favorite crystals. We'll explore how a snowflake's unique journey through different temperatures and humidity levels shapes its design, why water molecules are obsessed with the number six, and whether Ziggy’s invention of "square snowflakes" is actually possible!


Dr. Owl and the team are on holiday break 12/22–1/2 🦉🎄. We’re still collecting curious questions for future episodes — happy holidays!
