The Warmth of the Sun

 

Children examining melting ice

As the season changed from winter to spring, the children observed how water left on the table from melting ice over night has frozen due to being so cold, and how the sun coming up warmed everything so that it may begin to start melting again. We had conversations about how many times the weather can change in a day during spring, and learned the science behind turning solids to liquids and back again.
