This inquiry video explores measurement of the mass of snow and ice.

Suitable for Kindergarten, Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3, Grade 4, as well as, Forest School, Pre-school, and Homeschoolers.

This video urges students to investigate measurement of mass. Part one of three!


For teachers, parents and adults: This video follows an inquiry model. It is designed to encourage young students to be curious, ask questions and investigate math through everyday objects.

I ask questions and urge students (with your support) to find answers. Your role is to encourage the curiosity by guiding young learners' questions (rather than just providing answers.)

Prompts you can ask:
"Why would you want to measure an object?"
"Which do you think has more mass? Ice or snow?"
"Why do you think that?"
"How can you find the answer?"
"How could you measure an ice block's mass?"
"What could you use to measure an ice block's mass?"
"What units could you use to measure an ice block's mass?"
