How To Make Snow Experiment

An Experiment in Making Snow!

I often think about my readers that don't get snow,  so I thought they would appreciate a post on making snow!  We haven't really gotten much snow here in NE Ohio until recently and I can't imagine never really experiencing snow.  We had fun comparing our real snow to our homemade snow.  To create some snow all you need is a blender and some ice cubes!

First, pop about 16 ice cubes in your blender.

Then blend until you have ice that has turned to snow.  Make sure your blender is strong enough to grind ice! Here is our Instant SNOW!!!
C was AMAZED that we made snow!  We ran outside and grabbed some REAL snow and I told her to make some observations.  Can you guess which one is the real snow????  Pretty convincing???
C noticed the REAL SNOW was colder,  softer, and didn't taste as good!!!
C observed the HOMEMADE SNOW was warmer,  harder, and tasted better!!!  Both snows could form into snowballs when warmer.  Both melted....

the homemade snow melted faster!

C had a great time with this experiment and I'm sure she will ask to do it again!!!

Check out this link from Weather Wiz Kids to find out all kinds of FACTS about SNOW,  like How is Snow Formed,  How do Blizzards Form, What are Snowflakes, Why is Snow white,  and more.....
If you don't want your snow to melt try some Insta-Snow and you just add water!
