Learning Goal: Water can be changed from one state to another (solid, liquid, gas) by heating or cooling.
- Reading= The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats, Snowmen at Night by Caralyn Buehner and There Was a Cold Lady Who Swallowed Some Snow by Lucille Colandro. Letter of the day= S is for snow.
- Art= Make snowflakes by cutting shapes in folded white paper or doilies. Adhere snowflakes to blue paper and add glitter. Fine art: Show Pieter Bruegel's December Landscape (Hunters in the Snow). Point out the snow, frozen lake and ice skaters.
- Science= Experiment with the freezing and melting of water and ice. For example, make homemade popsicles to observe the freezing of water. Put ice cubes in different places; time how long it takes the ice cubes to melt. Boil water and watch it make clouds (or steam); breathe onto a mirror or outside in the cold to see a gas turn into liquid. Finally, make a daily weather chart to record sun, snow, rain or wind.
- Play= Go sledding, build a snowman, or have an indoor snowball fight with extra-large marshmallows!
Fun fact: Water is the only substance on Earth that is present in three different forms (liquid, solid, gas).
Learning Goal: Water can be changed from one state to another (solid, liquid, gas) by heating or cooling.
