We are coming up to the middle of winter, and chances are we will have had some snow by now.  We all know that snow is made of water, and that snowflakes are tiny ice crystals.  You may have also heard that no two snowflakes are exactly alike - is this true?  

In this winter-themed JAM, you will learn about physical and chemical properties of snow and ice, and what makes the solid state of water (ice) so unique compared to other solid objects.  You will also conduct friction tests on ice using different objects to determine which one slides the best.

PLEASE NOTE:

  • We require a 24 hour cancellation notice for Little Explorers Club and JAM Sessions reservations via emailing info@visitthemap.org. Please include the name on the reservation, number of students, date and time of the class.

  • Please help create an outstanding learning environment by limiting disruptions in the classroom! 

  • Parents are, of course, always welcome to remain in class but should a parent choose to step out, we have provided a seating area just outside the classrooms. Parents and siblings are also welcome to explore our Discovery Room or the rest of the Museum until the class concludes.
