In week 2 and 3 we made borax ice flakes at the ,end they were great.This is how you make one.
 * 1) Cut a pipe cleaner into three equal sections.
 * 2) Twist the sections together at their centers to form a six-sided snowflake shape. Don't worry if an end isn't even, just trim to get the desired shape. The snowflake should fit inside the jar.
 * 3) Tie the string to the end of one of the snowflake arms. Tie the other end of the string to the pencil. You want the length to be such that the pencil hangs the snowflake into the jar.
 * 4) Fill the widemouth pint jar with boiling water.
 * 5) Add borax one tablespoon at a time to the boiling water, stirring to dissolve after each addition. The amount used is 3 tablespoons borax per cup of water. It is okay if some undissolved borax settles to the bottom of the jar.
 * 6) If desired, you may tint the mixture with food color.
 * 7) Hang the pipe cleaner snowflake into the jar so that the pencil rests on top of
 * 8) the jar and the snowflake is completely covered with liquid and hangs freely (not touching the bottom of the jar).
 * 9) Allow the jar to sit in an undisturbed location overnight.
 * 10) Look at the pretty crystals!!! You can hang your snowflake as a decoration or in a window to catch the sunlight :-)

Tips:

 * 1) Borax is available at grocery stores in the laundry soap section, such as 20 Mule Team Borax Laundry Booster. Do not use Boraxo soap.
 * 2) Because boiling water is used and because borax isn't intended for eating, adult supervision is recommended for this project.
 * 3) If you can't find borax, you can use sugar or salt (may take longer to grow the crystals, so be patient). Add sugar or salt to the boiling water until it stops dissolving. Ideally you want no crystals at the bottom of the jar.

Info from http://chemistry.about.com/cs/howtos/ht/boraxsnowflake.htm Unlike ice pellets, hail stones are layered and can be irregular and clumped together. Hail is composed of transparent ice or alternating layers of transparent and translucent ice at least 1 millimetre (0.039 in) thick, which are deposited upon the hail stone as it cycles through the cloud multiple times, suspended aloft by air with strong upward motion until its weight overcomes the updraft and falls to the ground. There are methods available to detect hail-producing thunderstorms using weather satellites and radar imagery. Hail stones generally fall at faster rates as they grow in size, though complicating factors such as melting, friction with air, wind, and interaction with rain and other hail stones can slow down their descent through Earth's atmosphere. Severe weather warnings are issued for hail when the stones reach a damaging size, as it can cause serious damage to man-made structures, and most commonly, farmers' crops.

 * Hail** is a form of solid precipitation which consists of balls or irregular lumps of ice, that are individually called hail stones. Hail stones on Earth consist mostly of water ice and measure between 5 and 150 millimeters in diameter, with the larger stones coming from severe and dangerous thunderstorms. The METAR reporting code for hail 5 mm or greater in diameter is **GR**, while smaller hailstones and graupel are coded **GS**. Hail is possible with most thunderstorms as it is produced by **cumulonimbi** (thunderclouds),[1] usually at the leading edge of a storm system. Hail formation requires environments of strong, upward motion of air with the parent thunderstorm (similar to tornadoes) and lowered heights of the freezing level. Hail is most frequently formed in the interior of continents within the mid-latitudes of Earth, with hail generally confined to higher elevations within the tropics. Hail formation is preferred during the summer months in the afternoon and evening hours of the day. Hailstorms normally last 3–15 minutes.

In science I recreated a steel chime this is what you need!
 * small peises of a tile
 * drill
 * string
 * square of glass

first drill a hole on the sides of 9 tile shards.Next push the string threw each shard and tie a not at the bottem[make shure the bottem has 3cm of spase and at the top 10cm]Next drill a hole in the top of the glass and tie the bottem of the string to the glass.Next drill three holes at the bottem and tie a 5cm string in each hole.Drill a hole at the top of three tile peices and tie it to the string.Now it time to hang it up in your room, on a tree or even in the kitchen.
