Snow

Recently, we did an inquiry about snow (see tab "Our Inquiries"). The children knew many facts about snow and came up with 10 things they would like to learn about snow. One thing they wanted to know is "How to make snow".  Mrs. Gregory shared an experiment that demonstrated how to make snow. This week was perfect, as a requirement was very cold outdoor temperature.

Materials;

  • Freshly boiled water
  • Really cold outdoor temperature

Here is our snow falling.
