Our cheeky elf was found this morning making snow angels which started our learning about snow...we did some research and read all about snow. The kids were amazed that no snow flake is ever the same yet each have six points...we looked at images of snow flakes under a telescope.
We then made our own which we stuck up on the windows!
We then did a science experiment, we attempted to make salt crystals. This involved making a snow flake shape out of pipe cleaners and threading thread round it like a web, and hanging it from a pencil...then popping boiling water in a jar and adding salt until salt no longer dissolved in it...
Then hanging our snowflakes in the water. The process of the water cooling should make the salt particles seperate from the water and form crystals....
We finished the day off by watching a Richard Hammond documentary all about weather...this weeks was on rain and snow x
