What Happens to Snow?

We decided to take full advantage of the small snowfall today and decided to bring some inside to see what happens to it.

We wondered what happens to snow when it is brought indoors. The students guessed it would melt and then came up with reasons for why this happens. They said inside would be too hot for snow to survive, so we then wondered what would happen to the snow if we put it in the freezer! Would it still melt? Would it remain as snow? Would it freeze into ice?

We watched as the snow in the classroom melted, but we are still waiting to see what happens with the snow in the freezer!
