Here’s a fun experiment for kids that measures and compares the volume of snow, ice, and water.
What you’ll need:
- A scale (optional)
- 3 containers of equal size
- Water
- Snow
- Ice

Instructions:
- If using a scale, place each container on the scale and record the empty weight.
- Fill one container with snow, one with ice, and one with water.
- If using a scale, record the weight of each container with its respective substance. If not using a scale, simply measure and record the volume of each substance using measuring cups or spoons.
- Compare the weight or volume of the snow, ice, and water and discuss the results.
This experiment is a great way for kids to learn about the properties of snow, ice, and water and how they compare in terms of volume. It’s also a great opportunity for kids to practice measuring and recording their observations.
Here’s a fun little experiment for kids that measures and compares the volume of snow, ice, and water. As discussed another post, the volume of ice differs from water.
