Snowman in a Jar Science Experiement

During a recent snow day Joshua and I did a science experiment.  We spooned snow into two snowman jars.  Then we put one snowman outside and kept one in the house to see which one would melt first.  About 1 hour later the melted snowman on the counter caught his eye and he exclaimed, "The snowman melted!"  Then he went to check the one on the front porch.  

 

 

So proud of his creation!

 

He was so cute checking on the outside snowman all through out the day and was so surprised when it was still frozen each time he checked. 

 

One of the first things he asked Daniel when he got home from work was, "Which snowman do you think melted?"

 

One of my favorite things from this experiment was hearing him say the word "hypothesis."   You better believe that Joshua is so smart that I guarantee we will hear him use the word hypothesis all on his own and in the right context.  I just love this kids love of learning!
