Experimenting with snow

On Wednedsay we collected snow into our sensory bin from our playground. We added food colouring, scoops, funnels and shovels. We wore our mitts to play in it.

We then predicted what would happen overnight.

Some of our predictions were: it will be slush, it will melt, it will turn black in colour or orange or purple.

It may stay the same. 

In the afternoon we investigated. It turned from snow to water! It was orange! It was dirty! There was dirt, small stick pieced and small bits of gravel/rocks in it! 

we discussed how clean it looked to start but dirt was hidden inside! We were reminded not to eat it!!
