Winter experiences for children 7 years old - 10 magical ideas for boring holidays

Simple winter experiments on a walk

First-graders and older children are a little more difficult to surprise with something unusual. But still, perhaps, especially if you make a real winter adventure on the way home from school or just on a walk.

 

Snowflakes are like stars

Each snowflake is unique and for this small experiment, you will need a dark sheet of cardboard, a magnifier and, if necessary, a camera of the phone to capture the result of the experiment. Now you need to try to “catch” a few snowflakes and carefully consider them. And capturing the result with the help of the camera phone, you can use it for further creative hobbies (for example, make a similar garland of snowflakes).

 

Air or water

After a walk, you can bring some snow with you to find out how much water will be obtained from a certain amount and whether it corresponds to the volume of material collected. The goal of this creative experiment is to prove that snow is mostly air, not just water. To do this, you need to put snow in a glass and make approximate marks, according to your calculations, how much water should be obtained. As a result, experience will prove that snow, after air has evaporated from it and it has become water, does not take up as much space in the container as it used to. You can also learn how to engage children.Developmental games and experiments with water.

 

How to Turn Water into Snowflakes

In the previous experiment, snow turned into water, but can we do the opposite? Easy. For this experience, it is enough to take a little hot water with you on a walk at a low temperature (with excellent frost). And throw it up as soon as you're outside. The water will instantly freeze and a drop of hot liquid will not reach the ground.

 

Add creativity - ice transformations

Ice is an ideal material for studying and creating various crafts on a walk. It is enough to show a little creativity and real miracles will begin to happen.

 

Soap bubble tricks

It is best to conduct this experience at temperatures from minus 7 to minus 10 degrees. This is the perfect temperature that will allow the magic to happen. We take soap bubbles and inflate them, trying to do it as carefully as possible (and dry, windless weather is best). The soap bubble will quickly become covered with a crust of ice, drawing funny patterns on the surface.

 

The magic of ice and salt

Having frozen a piece of ice in advance at home, you can easily conduct a small experiment with salt (at home or on the street). To do this, the ice should be sprinkled with salt and watch as small hollows, tunnels and holes gradually appear. And if you take the colors, it is quite realistic to see the result of the contact of salt and ice.

 

Prescription ice

Such an amazing substance as ice can be made independently. To do this, you will need: four tablespoons of ordinary soda, a little water and a few drops of liquid soap (should get a paste). For ice, you need molds, and so that the ready-made ice floes were of different colors, you can use any food coloring. After the ice cream freezes in the freezer, they can be “activated”. To do this, add a little citric acid to the water and lower each ice cap there. And we're watching a real ice show.

 

Ice miracles

You can make almost real ice at home at normal temperatures. For the experience, you will need several items: a stand, a metal cup, salt and a spoon. Under the cup you need to pour water, and in the cup itself put a piece of ice or snow, filling it with salt. Snow or ice will begin to melt quickly, so that an ice crust will begin to form under the cup and it will easily come to the stand.

 

Artificial fun – making snow at home

Artificial snow is great for playing at home. And in order to make such snow, you can use three proven recipes.

 

Recipe one (the simplest one)

You need to mix shaving foam and starch. Due to this, you will get a white mass, which will be good to keep in shape and is great for making a small snowman or making snowballs.

 

Recipe two.

For this recipe, you need to mix a glass of soda and starch with water and three spoons of liquid soap. The resulting mass will be loose enough, but wet enough to play or build something unusual at home.

 

Recipe three.

If you need to make snow almost like real, you can use this recipe. To do this, mix 1/5 cup of baking soda and 1⁄4 part of the hair conditioner (ordinary, white). These two components should be mixed gradually, thoroughly rubbing and stretching with your hands. The result should be viscous artificial snow, which is perfect for playing snowballs.

 

Winter experiments are great for Advent Calendar assignments or as self-entertainment at home or on a walk. Experiment, play, develop together!
