Winter Science

Is Snow Good for Plants and Animals?

 

 

 Some of our students adding a snow "blanket" to one of the thermometers.

 

 

Due to the very cold temperatures recently, it was a challenge to find enough soft snow to cover the thermometer.

 

All the scientists of Room 132 assisted by bringing snow to cover the thermometer.  Great team work!

We were experimenting to see if it was true that snow is good for plants and animals during the winter.  We read in a book that snow acts as a blanket for plants and animals.  We wanted to see which thermometer would show a warmer temperature.  Ask your child to share the results of our latest experiment.
