Snow can be a lot of fun. You get to go sledding and skating. You can build snowmen. And best of all, you can have snowball fights! It’s hard to believe that water can be that much fun.
Yes, snow is just one of water’s many disguises. When it’s a liquid you can drink it. When it’s a solid you can skate on it. And if you get it really hot you can see it float up into the air in the form of steam, which is a gas.
One day Bing and Bong were visiting the Tiny Planet of Nature. They had the opportunity to help a group of snow flockers to learn about water’s different forms. The Flockers took a shower they were using liquid water.
But then their water heater stopped working. So the liquid water turned into solid snow and ice. Brrr! You can watch how Bing and Bong saved the day in their video called “Snow Problem.”
Bing and Bong were happy to have helped their flocker friends and learned something new. How about you? Do you like to learn new things? I hope so because this month we’re going to investigate some of the the different ways we see water on planet Earth.
During the winter season you may have noticed the trees take on a pretty white coating. This coating is called “frost.” Frost is made from the moisture in the air. When this moisture gathers on a surface, and the air temperature is cold enough, you get frost.
