Snow Experiment Today

Today we read The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats.  In the story, Peter wanted to save a snowball in his pocket but later he discovered it had melted.  We wanted to see if we could think of an idea of how to save a snowball.  Some ideas were in the freezer and the refrigerator.  So we conducted an experiment to see where is the best place to save snow.  We collected snow in 3 containers (K for kitchen table, R for refrigerator, and F for Freezer).  We waited several hours later and then checked back to see what happened. 

Here is what we discovered:

Brandon- The snow in the freezer did not melt because the freezer is so cold.

Ryan- The snow on the table melted really fast because it melted by the lights.

Ellie- The snow melted on the table because it is really hot inside.

Colin- The snow in the freezer did not melt because was so cold.

Lily-The snow didn’t melt in the freezer.

Luke- The snow on the table melted quicker.

Chloe- The snow in the refrigerator melted a little bit.

Liam- The snow in the freezer stayed frozen and hard because the freezer is cold.

Niko- The snow on the table melted faster.

Brooke- The snow in the freezer didn’t melt because it was cold.

Ben- The snow melted in the refrigerator less than the snow on the table.

Phoebe- The snow on the table melted.

Matthew- The snow on the table melted because the hot air got closer to it.

Emmett- The snow in the freezer did not melt because the freezer is cold.
