What are the steps of the water cycle? Wonder What's Next? Keep the learning rolling along by checking out one or more of the following fun activities with a friend or family member: Is it Winter where you live?
Is there snow on the ground? If so, get ready to do a simple experiment that will test your mathematical skills. Grab a tape measure and mark out an area in the snow that's in the shape of a square and measures 10 feet on each side. Before you begin the experiment, make a guess about how much water you think exists in the foot square of snow. You'll want to measure how deep the snow is to help with your guess.
To test how much water is in your square in the form of snow, dig out a one square foot section of snow that's a square of snow that measures one foot on each side.
Take that snow inside and put it in the bathtub. Make sure you put the stopper in the drain first! Let the snow melt and then use a measuring cup from the kitchen to measure how much water is in the tub. Multiply your result by to determine how much water is in the big square you marked outside. How accurate was your guess? Did you know that you can also recycle snow on your own? It's true! When the snow falls, not only can you sled, have snowball fights, and make snowmen, but you can also use snow to make some delicious treats to share with your friends and family members.
One of our favorite treats is to make Snow Ice Cream. Click on the link to check out a recipe for snow ice cream. Have fun making this super tasty treat the next time the snowflakes fall! No snow on the ground right now? No problem!

JTC Dec 18, Dec 19, Trinity Dec 18, Great question, Trinity! We're sure it varies depending on whether there is any snow. Xavier Nov 26, Dec 5, Cameron Apr 10, Apr 12, Trinity Dec 19, I did not know that snow would go somewhere when it melted!
Jan 12, Could you make a wonder about how tacos are made? Unknown Nov 17, Thats so easy dude. Jan 19, Jan 20, Awesome, Chisom! Thanks for being a good Wonder Buddy! Jan 11, I lved this, I never knew where snow went when it melted ;D. Jan 13, Oh whew! What a relief. Glad to have you as our Wonder Friend, Chisom! Chris student Jan 13, Jan 14, Although we played outside a good part of the day, there was still plenty of time to try out a little snow melting experiment.
Our melting snowman science activity was perfect. We had just read, Snow and at the end, the kids rush to bring snow inside. Why not bring a mini snowman inside and see how long it takes for him to melt! We did a fun indoor snow melt activity last year with containers of snow. Simple set up for this melting snow experiment!
Clearly you need snow! This would be awesome for a few ages. Younger children can simply enjoy the visual and discuss whats going on while older children can record data, make a graph, and write in a journal!
Adding different tools to the melting snow experiment like a stopwatch and ruler makes it a great STEM activity too. Exploring math and technology while learning about melting is perfect.
