Description
Why does it seem so quiet after a snowfall? How can something as cold as snow be as warm as a woollen blanket? What's the secret to making the best snowball? Get ready to turn kids into snow scientists. Children can build a snow shelter, decipher animal tracks to learn how animals adapt to winter and much more. Indoor and outdoor activities and "what happens if — “" sections encourage kids to continue experimenting with snow on their own.
