I did a post last year with ideas for learning about snow, but there’s always more out there so let’s look deeper into some projects using or talking about snow.
If you have snow where you live there are lots of experiments you can do. I like this one from KC Edventures to determine how much water is in snow. Super easy if you have snow on the ground and pretty cool to see the difference between a jar of snow and the water it leaves behind.
Of course you can also do classics like color mixing with snow and making a fizzy snowman (both of these ideas from from Living Life and Learning). The snowman doesn’t actually call for snow but it would be fun to try mixing the baking soda with snow before you add the vinegar just to see what happens.
And if you don’t have snow around you can make a snowstorm in a jar with instructions from Taming Little Monsters. This is an easy and fun activity and the post explains the science behind it so you can talk about that, too.
Make your own paper snowflakes with the how do snowflakes form printable from Kitchen Counter Chronicle.
Homeschooling in Progress has some ideas and shares some paid resources for doing a snow themed unit study, but there are also good ideas for books about snow you might want to check out and other fun snow related activities (like making snowflake-shaped crystals).
Mama’s Learning Corner has a paid printable book on the life cycle of a snowflake, meaning how snowflakes are formed, what they look like and how they fall. The pack also includes a vocabulary worksheet and writing pages with a snowflake theme.
And Simple Living Creative Learning has another great paid pack of printables including information about snow, icicles and snowflakes, different types of snowflakes, symmetrical drawing, snow cycle activities and more.
