Today we had a surprise visit from some snowmen.

We had to work in groups to decide how to help our snowman not to melt. Some of us thought putting a coat on him would make him warm and so he would melt. Others thought a coat might stop him from melting so fast. Lots of us thought that using foil as a space blanket would help. We had to give our snowman a name and look after him for the day.

Our experiment showed that the snowman with the coat melted more slowly than the snowman without a coat.
