Ice Energy Grades Elementary
To prepare some of our favorite foods, such as ice cream, birthday cakes, and even barbecued steaks, we rely on chemical reactions. Some of these reactions occur when food ingredients combine, while others result from cooking or cooling processes. When we understand how science affects foods, we can create tasty new recipes.

Ice Surfing - How do ice surfers go so fast? Grades Middle School
Grab your board and hit the beach-it's surfing time again. But instead of baggies and a tank top, you might want to put on a parka and thermal socks, because the kind of surfing we're talking about only happens on solid water. That's right, the topic is ice surfing, and it's the hottest sport on frozen lakes around the world.

Making Ice Cream Grades Any
Your class can explore the history of ice cream and dairy products, the chemistry of ice, salt and exothermic reactions, or use it an exercise in the scientific method: what if you make the following recipe without salt?

Snow Journals Grades 3-12
Students will observe the natural world and come to conclusions about those observations.

Snowball Family Grades K-1
Read the book "Snowballs" to the children. Talk about the different kinds of snow families in the book.
