We Wonder About...snow and ice

It appears that winter is really settling in.  We have decided to take advantage of the ice and snow to ask some questions and do some experiments with snow.  We have been bringing in snow each day to experiment with and watch what happens to it as the day progresses.  It's cold work and so the children need to wear their mittens while they are at the snow table.




Some of the questions we presently have on our "Wonder" board are:





"How come snow melts when you pour water on it?"- Evan
"Why is ice slippery?" - Griffin
"Why does the snow melt when the sun comes out?" - Cooper












"Why does ice melt?" - Julian
"Why does ice melt when snow and rain turn it to mush?"- Evey







Stay tuned to see what we discover.
