Wild Weather
Blizzards + Heat Waves
Will you need a sun hat and water bottle today? Or wait…maybe snow boots and gloves? How about all of the above? Today it's gonna get really hot—and very cold—at Camp Kinda as we look into how extreme heat and snow can be both challenging and essential to our environment.
what you’ll need
- 2 clear containers (like Tupperware or old takeout containers)
- Baby oil (you can substitute another oil like vegetable, but a clear variety will work best)
- Alka Seltzer
- A few ounces of white paint
- Food coloring (preferably blue)
- Glitter (optional)
- Small toys like cars or action figures (optional)

Dinner Discussion
Blizzards bring huge amounts of snowfall. If you could swap snow for something else that fell from the sky during a blizzard, what would it be and why? Remember—once it falls, it will be covering the ground everywhere.

Weekly Materials
This week's materials list includes a few items that are a little more unusual—like styrofoam plates, baby oil, and food coloring. If you can find them, we think they make for some really cool experiments. If you can't, no worries, just skip ahead.
