07jan23- Snow, Ice, Water: A Volume Comparison

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
A small kitchen scale and Two glasses, one filled with snow, one with water.
What’s heavier?

Instructions:

  1. If using a scale, place each container on the scale and record the empty weight.
  2. Fill one container with snow, one with ice, and one with water.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
