I decided to set aside the girls science curriculum this month and see what I could come up with that had to do with Christmas and winter.

Here is our first week.

First up I read a little excerpt from the boys science book on weather.

I liked these books because they are written to cover multiple ages.

After learning about what snow is we made InstaSnow.

I had this in my science supplies already so it was a nice easy place to start.

Even the boys wanted to join in.

When we were done, we made a sensory bin out of it.

Next up we learned about snowflakes and their symmetry.

I found this idea to make a geoboard snowflake, here.

Next up we made paper snowflakes!

I used this tutorial.

 

The next day we read an online library book on snow that talked more about snowflakes, it was very easy to understand. I like to get the readers for science for the girls because they are usually written in simple terms.

Then we made snowflake salt art!

The template and tutorial are here.

This ended up being such a fun project!

My plan is to learn about ice and melting this week and then move on to learning about Christmas traditions here and in other countries.

Here is my Pinterest board.
