Every day, the JKs love to play in water during outdoor play. Linking with our ‘winter’ topic, the children were each given a cup of water to freeze overnight. Wow… our water changed into ice! Taking them out of the freezer, the children wanted to see what would happen to their ice if they left them out in different places: they chose to put them in sand, salt, cold water, hot water, or just an empty container. They talked about what they thought would happen. Then they waited patiently and observed the changes throughout the day. They were excited to see how the ice changed into something else… especially the ice and salt, which formed ‘crystal balls’! What an incredible learning time they had with this experiment.
