Despite even more obstacles offered by Covid, SWEP took 200 fifth graders snowshoeing in the Tahoe Truckee area to learn about snow science.

SWEP continued to offer its winter science program to students despite the pandemic in 2021. How did it look this year?

Are all snowflakes the same? What factors influence the shape, size and structure of snowflakes?

Experiment with melting rates of snow and ice by building snow castles! Get outside in the snow with this at-home science activity.

Where does the snow in your yard go when it melts? Can you build your watershed out of snow? Time to get your snow pants on and find out!

Does all snow hold the same amount of water? Here is an easy experiment with snow that you can do from home!

Do you know how deep the snow is in your backyard? Why is knowing about the snowpack important? Put on your snow scientist hat and find out!

Have you been outside today? Get out there to do a fun experiment with perception! All you need is fresh snow, a camera and your face.

This winter 320 fifth grade students in TTUSD had a chance to snowshoe through the forest to learn about snow science and winter ecology.

SWEP's Winter Discovery Center offers around 700 third, fourth and fifth grade students the opportunity to engage in a snow science lesson.
