Snow Day


Another January, another snow day, this one called before the snow even started.  If you want to learn a bit more about snow have a look at this post that I shared last year.
I you have any great pictures of the snow then get sharing or have a go at one or more of the tasks!!
There will be housepoints for the best pieces of work and they will be displayed either in the classroom or here on the blog

1.  Watch this video and create a poster explaining how snow forms



2. Watch this video about the design of Snowflakes.  Create a fact sheet about snow flakes.



3.  Yesterday I too these pictures of the snow near my apartment.  Sadly it's not a lightsaber, just a lucky shot as the snow fell past the phone.  Look at the damage done to the trees near my building.
Take your camera (or your phone) and get out in your neighbourhood.  How many different snow pictures can you take?  Can we get enough pictures to make a visual map of the snow in Bucharest, email me your shots or if you use Instagram use #ibsbgeographysnow and follow me @ibsbgeography.  







4.  Search on news sites to see just how many different ways snow can affect every day life.  We have already been affected with school closing.  If you run a business then during days like this you will probably lose money, what about sports fixtures, people who are travelling.  Create a mind map to show all the possible effects of heavy snow.

5.  Go out in the snow and enjoy it while you can!!
