Science and Spatial Relations

We frequently travel to the mountains, 7,000 feet elevation! Along the drive up the winding road, we watch the temperature rise and fall, we get to really FEEL what the freezing point is, we watch water droplets turn to snow as the temperature drops slowly from 34 degrees to 32 degrees, observe the geography as it turns from freeways to alpine and then to SNOW!

Yes, from sandals to snowboots all in one day, what fun! As a child in Michigan, I have fond memories of the snow caves that we built in the packed snowbanks. Here I am with my children, reliving a fond childhood memory of my own. Snowplay, snowhikes and snowcones with maple syrup fresh from the yard.
