How to preserve a snowflake

[saffronpink]

I saw on This Morning the scientist show a snowflake he had preserved, using a glass slide and superglue (which he had kept outside to make it the same temperature) I cant understand how he could separate one snowflake. I did email the programme and they told me to look on their web at the science page, but couldnt find the answer. Anyone know how?

Not sure if this is what you seen on the site but have you tried e-mailing Brian Cox himsel? I'll have a quick look on the Net to see what I can see...........

This repeats what you said above and I would think it would be trial and error, maybe blowing flakes off the slide or leaving a bit paper on the slide wi a wee hole in the paper son that only one flake touched the slide?

Thank you so much Corby loon. I have saved the science site for future reference, it will come in handy for school projects.

Are you In Corby, Yorkshire? I am on the north east coast.

I'm in the Scots enclave of Corby, Northants. I didn't know there was a Corby in Yorkshire.

I have short arms and very deep pockets . Does this mean I am a yorkshireman?
