2) Animal Research

Choose an animal that lives in a cold climate like a penguin or snow leopard. Then carry out some research to find out as much as you can about that animal. You could use books or the internet. Think about how you could present the information.

3) Exercise in the snow!

Go sledging, play in the garden or make a snowman. Get some fresh air and enjoy the snow!

4) Snowball Science

Go outside a make a snowball. Then bring it inside (in a bowl or something similar) and make a prediction about how long it will take to melt. You could even make a few snowballs and put each one in a different place - which one will melt the quickest? Why do you think that happened?
