Snow Science Activities For Kids
Playdough Snowman

Because the clay contains baking soda, let’s see if we can generate a fizzy reaction by adding vinegar to the dough.
Using a discarded spice container, sprinkle vinegar on top of the snowman. There was some bubbling and fizzing, but it was not overpowering. The snowman took a long time to “melt.”
After 2 or 3 containers of vinegar have been filled, use a spoon to pour the vinegar on the dough and mix it up.
Snowman in a bottle

The melting snowman in a bottle is a basic scientific experiment. The snowman in a bottle is an enticing approach to introduce concepts like as cold, warm, snow, snowman, melt, solid, liquid, and time, since science in early childhood education is all about growing vocabulary and experiencing new processes.
Melting snow
Snow may be explored both outsides and inside your preschool classroom in a variety of ways. If you don’t want to feel chills just bring some snow from outside and melt it a little and then enjoy playing it with.

This image displays the snow and water combining quite well, as the snow melts and creates a solution of two liquids mixed together. This presentation is excellent for dispelling the myth that snow vanishes.
