AN EXCURSION - WILLOWBANK WILD LIFE RESERVE -20 JUNE 2012

 Yesterday our trip to willow bank wildlife reserve was fascinating even though it was cloudy and cold. We are now more aware of how animals and birds can become extinct. We cared for the animals by buying food they are supposed to be eating. You can help by being more aware of how our birds and animals can become extinct.

INFORMATION REPORTS 0N SNOW

Types of Snow

There are three different types of snow. They determined by the weight and the shape of snowflakes. Powdery snow is fluffy which turns into granular snow when it starts to melt. The third type of snow is icy .This snow  keeps on melting and refreezing. The best type of snow to have fun in is the powdery snow.

SNOWFAKES

Did you know snowflakes are cloud droplets that have frozen?

A snowflake has six parts. It is really hard to find a perfectly identical snowflake.

Snowflakes have lots of different shapes and sizes.

Snowflakes are made out of vapour.

MEASURING SNOW 

People measure snow at special locations using special scales called snow pillows. It is measured every 6 hours. The total measurement for snowfall in a day is found by the four totals collected in a day. It is hard to measure snow because it melts, blows and drifts.
