Will it Freeze or Melt?

January 12, 2014 - Preschool Weekly

We explored the properties water freezing and melting in winter. We loved hiding hunks of ice on the trails to predict which would melt the fastest or not at all. We used thermometers to track cold temps (particularly good this week since it got to be 6 degrees!). We also met a toad and discovered how it survives brutally cold conditions.
