Snow: Our January Inquiry

This month the children's interest in weather and the seasons has lead us to investigate snow.  So plentiful and widely available!

Some the the children's questions include what snow is made of and where does it come from. We will also be experimenting with bringing it indoors and mixing it with other materials.

Today we added snow to our water table and noticed it change throughout the day.

In the morning the children described it as hard, cold and icy.  They noticed their hands quickly got cold when touching it!

Later in the day, the snow was described as slush, water, melting and softer.  The children were able to handle it longer as it changed to water!





Meanwhile, we still have our usual learning centres open and full of curious, engaged students!
