Snowball ( or Ice Cube) Savers!!!

Dear Kindergarten Families,

In STEM class, we have been learning about the 3 states of matter:  solid...liquid...and gas. We have been focusing around water and how it can freeze, melt, and evaporate. To wrap up, we are having a SNOWBALL SAVER Design Challenge!

The goal of the challenge is for the children to build a container/package to see who can get their snowball ( or ice cube!) to last the longest.

The materials that we have been using include:

* Plastic
* Aluminum foil
* Wax paper
* Styrofoam
