Homemade Icebergs

We learned about icebergs and then made some of our own with a few toys thrown in them for added fun! The next morning the "icebergs" were frozen and we threw them into some water to play with. They were only half frozen by afternoon so we decided let them sit overnight. Our dining area was a bit wet by the end, but it was so worth it! My five year old had an informal q and a lesson about buoyancy and phases of water. My two year old learned a bit about hot and cold, that ice melts in warm water, and about what sinks and floats.

Thanks to Delia for the snow/cold weather activities that will be featured over the next little bit! Check out her blog Delia Creates at http://deliacreates.blogspot.com/!
