TRANSCRIPT
I made myself a snowballAs perfect as can be.I thought I'd keep it as a pet,And let it sleep with me.I made it some pyjamasAnd a pillow for its head.Then last night it ran away,But first - it wet the bed.

Ice Investigation Teacher notes
Resources:
Toys frozen in yogurt pots
Water (food colouring optional – add sparingly for less mess when melting!)
Dishes deep enough to contain water as ice melts.
Instructions:
Set problem: Jack Frost has trapped some toys in ice.
Where is the best place to melt ice?
Discuss ideas before placing ice in different positions and observing which ice melts first. Why did it melt fastest inside the classroom?
Other Investigation Ideas:
Do big blocks melt faster than small blocks?
-compare melting speed of different sized blocks
Can we freeze other liquids?
-pour juice, cool tea, milk etc., into pots and freeze
What different shapes can we make out of ice?
-explore pouring water into different shaped containers and freezing
Does the shape of ice affect how it melts?
-freeze water in disposable gloves, peel away glove and observe how fingers melt first.
Icicle cutouts
Snowflakes Teacher notes
Resources: Scissors, folded paper circles or squares
Tips:
· Pre-fold the paper
· Make cutting manageable by
· reducing the number of folds, or
· using thinner paper than standard photocopy paper – tracing paper, flat coffee filter paper or doilies work well
· Children can peg up icicles and snowflakes to create a snowy scene in role play area or snowflakes can be strung together to make snowy bunting.
Create icicles as an alternative to snowflakes.
Tracing paper folded in half three times
Standard paper folded in half twice.
Ice Pictures Teacher notes
Resources:
A range of containers
Water and jugs to pour from
A selection of small floating and sinking objects
(natural: berries, leaves, twigs, stones, or manufactured: sequins, beads, paper, shredded foil, buttons, etc.)
Freezer or very cold weather!
Instructions:
Children pour water into a container and choose objects to drop into the water, predicting if they will float or sink. Leave water to freeze then tip out to reveal the art.
Tips:
· Shallow filling creates a stained-glass effect.
· Yoghurt pots are a good size and children can warm them by holding. the pots to release the ice,
Adaptation Ideas:
Group Introduction: Demonstrate task with a large transparent container. Can chn predict what the frozen picture will look like?
Outside Freezing: With cold conditions, children can set containers to freeze independently and can be more creative with size. Deep baking trays are great for collaborative pictures. Frisbees with a string/ribbon loop partially submerged at the edge can create pictures which can be hung by the ribbon.
