Today P5 thought they would enjoy the snow and put a science based twist onto their fun. The children worked in groups to come up with some snowy science questions and the recorded their predictions. We then put our coats, boots and gloves on and headed outiside.

Questions for investigation included ……Does paint make snow melt quicker? How many drops of cold water does it take to melt a snowball? Will a snow tower collapse before a snow bridge? And hitch melts a mound of snow quicker, hot water or cold water.

Lots of discussion about the questions, making experiments fair and then comparing results with predictions.

Enjoy the snow folks!
