Winter Wednesday: Snow

This was the first Winter Wednesday Challenge we participated in back in January (but I never got around to posting it.) 

Earlier this year we got our fair share of snow.  My Ladybugs and our neighbor went outside to play in and collect some.

They filled up the pink bucket and brought it inside for a melting experiment.  They filled measuring cups with 1 cup of snow.

So while they waited for the snow to melt, they enjoyed playing with and eating the rest!

How much water does 1 cup of melted snow make?

Well at our house…..1 cup of snow = 1/4 cup of water.

We then tried to filter our snow, but didn’t find anything too exciting, just a few specks of sand or dirt.

The girls had a great time with the snow!
