Gather round for story time!!

In Science, we have been talking about precipitation this week. I told the kids a little bit about Willie Bentley, aka Snowflake Bentley. Today, we read the book, "Snowflake Bentley." I think the students really enjoyed it.

Science explore activity

In Science today, we did an Explore Activity that helped us understand how clouds form. Our experiment worked out great and the students did a great job observing and analyzing our results.

This is a very simple experiment that you can do at home. For this experiment you will need the following items: hot tap water, two identical clear containers, mug, and ice cubes.

Procedure: Chill container 1 by putting it in refrigerator or on ice for about ten minutes.

FIll a mug with hot water. Be careful handling the hot water!!

Fill container 2 with the hot water. Place empty cold container 1 upside down on top of container 2 with the water. Fit the mouths together carefully. Place the ice cubes on top of container 1.

Record your observations.

WHAT DID YOU OBSERVE??
