Lange, Catherine; Huff, Kenneth L.; Silverman, Scott; Wallace, Karen
Science Activities: Classroom Projects and Curriculum Ideas, v49 n2 p37-43 2012
In this interdisciplinary and field-based activity, grade 5 to 9 students engage in a comprehensive scientific study of snow. Through a series of in-class and out-of-class structured interdisciplinary and team-teaching lesson progressions, students will collect data to be able to analyze and apply knowledge about weather, the physical properties of snow, and the structure of matter that will increase understanding about the nature of science. (Contains 2 tables, 5 figures and 16 resources.)
