Why did it rain, but not snow? Kindergarten scientists looked at thermometers, and learned how to find the temperature as they skip counted by tens and twos. Then, we wrote the temperature with the degree symbol. When will we have rain and temperatures 32 degrees or below? To reinforce our lab at home, show your child the temperature on your weather app. Notice the degree symbol.

There’s no snow in our forecast, so kindergarten scientists made snow in the science lab with Steve Spangler’s Instasnow. It is a superabsorbent polymer, similar to the powder found in disposable diapers.
