We painted today...but it wasn't on paper! Instead...we painted on snow! Each of us went outside and got a bowl of snow. Then, we used watercolor paints and painted the snow. Our creations were so beautiful! They looked like yummy snow cones!

Special Visitor/Painting Snow
We had a special visitor today and she did a cool experiment with us! She put a latex glove on, covered her hand with Crisco, and then put another latex glove over the Crisco. The Crisco represented "blubber" (fat) that some animals have to help keep them warm in Winter. We each got to put the glove on and put our hand in ice water. We also put our uncovered hand in the ice water. The experiment quickly showed us that our covered hand was much warmer because we had "blubber" on it to keep it warm! We had so much fun with this experiment!
This is what it looked like outside when we dumped our painted snow outside!

What a fun day of learning! I love the experiment with blubber. As an artist I have never painted on snow- that is so cool, I will have to try painting snow!
ReplyDeleteThat is a very interesting experiment. I am surprised that I get cold at all!!
