are the questions\u00a0we were asked today.<\/p>\n<p>We predicted what we thought would happen to the snowman.\u00a0 Most of us thought the snowman would melt quickly with\u00a0his coat on because the coat was warm.\u00a0 Some of us thought it would stay the same because it was snowing.<\/p>\n<p>Then we did an experiment.\u00a0 We got two identical snowmen (water frozen in yoghurt cartons) and put them on\u00a0 trays.\u00a0 Next we put a sock coat on one of the snowmen and left the other one with no coat.\u00a0 Finally we looked at the snowmen during the day and watched to see which snowman melted the quickest.<\/p>\n<p>Most of us were surprised at the result because the snowman with the coat stayed upright the longest and the snowman without the coat melted the quickest.\u00a0 We realised that the coat acted as a protection for the snowman and kept him COLD\u00a0 &#8211; most of us had thought the coat would make him warm and melt him!\u00a0 We learned that it was okay to change our mind because of what we saw during our experiment &#8211; scientists do this all the time!<\/p>\n<p><a
