Science States of Matter - Snow Experiment KS1 and 2

This is a PowerPoint that I created for a fun lesson that you could use as a' one off' or within a States of Matter/Weather Unit.

I taught this lesson to year 3 and 4 but I think you could simplify it or extend for KS1 or upper KS2.

I used it as a fun but very educational lesson before Christmas. You need Insta-Snow for this experiment (which is not expensive and I only used half a tub for a class and they all took some home to continue with their learning)..

It is a great way to teach how states of matter can change and reverse! The lesson is really practical and there are lots of opportunities to talk Science and you could write up an experiment throughout the lesson.

I added YouTube clips and chn filmed their experiment so there was computing links to the lesson.

The chn loved taking their snow home. On the last slide I made a tag to go with their snow. Chn continued their learning from home by freezing it, adding food colouring or salt.

I hope you enjoy this lesson as much as I did! :0)
