Snow Day 6.1.25
Happy New Year!
What a lot of snow we have today!
Your first mission, should you choose to accept it, is to get out in the snow and explore!
- How high a pile of snow can you make?
- Does it need to be a big mountain or can you make a thin, tall stack?
- How can you change the texture of the snow so it stands tall and strong?
- What do you need to do to the snow to shape it?
- What force will be working against you to make your snow fall back down?
Now that you have fully explored the snow, here are some tasks to keep you busy :)
Have a lovely day and see you tomorrow!
