Water & Ice: A Hands-On Winter Science Lab for PreK–2
What happens to water when winter arrives?
In this hands-on science lab, children explore how water changes in cold weather through observation, experimentation, and play. From freezing and floating to melting and movement, this lab introduces core physical science concepts in a gentle, age-appropriate way.
Real farm video helps children connect abstract ideas to real-life winter care for animals.
