Investigate what happens when sand or soil is mixed with water using the video excerpt Curious George: Snow Use. In the video, George wants to build a snowman, but it’s summertime. As always, clever George has some ideas to make his “snowman” anyway—by using mud and soil! In the accompanying lesson plan, children explore how sand and soil behave when mixed with water. They test and retest to find out which mixtures work best for building.
