Today's Snow is Tomorrow's Water
Middle school students strapped on their snowshoes and became snow scientists for the day. RFC educators brought students to McClure Pass to learn how to calculate how much water is in the snowpack by digging snow pits, taking measurements with a snow tube, and melting different layers of snow.
Students in grades 2-5 participated in a snow crystal study, learning how snow forms, and observing different types of snow crystals using field microscopes. They even created a class size human snow crystal!
Students also studied wild animal tracks and learned how animals use snow to survive in the winter by designing and building dens in the snow. These dens act as insulators against cold winter nights and predators.
