Frost!

Today the children created frost and observed the conditions that were necessary for frost formation.  They learned that frost, like dew, is water that comes out of the air.  While exploring, we learned that frost forms as tiny ice crystals rather than as water droplets. Several of our tin cans only had condensation on the outside, but we did get one really great example of frost!  Our class photographer, Caroline, captured the pictures below.

 

 



We also took some pictures of our frost under the digital microscope.  Here is what we found.
