Snowy Science Night @ the Library

On the way to the science class at the library, my 3 yr. old and 5 yr. old inquired about the snow which had not yet melted and how it got there.  We had a nice little discussion about how snow forms and that Allah makes it. 

Well, we were pleasantly surprised when the library class was also about snow, masha Allah.  After the librarian presented a short quiz based on the facts about snow from the book, The Story of Snow: The Science of Winter’s Wonder by Mark Cassino with Jon Nelson, Ph.D., we explored some of the magnificent snow crystal shapes at this beautiful website.

 

Finally, the children used their own imagination during the snow craft and made a melted snowman collage as an alternative to the model snowman the librarian had displayed.  Actually, he thought the collages were quite creative, alhamdulillah.

  1. Funny, we’ve been talking a lot about snow at our house (since we usually don’t get much in our area). Much of our kid’s experience with snow has been very limited, so we try to supplement in any way we can. Thanks for the link.

    We also found some pretty impressive photos on this site: http://www.webdesignerdepot.com/2009/12/incredible-examples-of-snowflake-photography/

    Probably not as beneficial as the link that you posted, but still some pretty good pictures of how magnificent a creator Allah is!

    • As salaam alaikum Little Bakr,

      Thanks for recommending another snowflake site. Insha allah, I will pass it on to my children.

      Looking forward to checking your new website out when it becomes live, insha Allah.
