Why Is It Winter? Experiment

We're not counting on the world ending today and neither is NASA. What we can count on is another winter solstice. Why is winter weather cold? What happens to plants in the winter? Where do animals go in the winter? What is hibernation? This book answers these questions and many more. There's even a simple experiment related to winter that will engage young readers and create a fun learning environment.

Experiment
You will need:
  • 2 ice cubes
  • 2 bowls or cups
  • salt
  • clock or watch
1. Put one ice cube in each bowl.

2. Pour some salt over one ice cube. Add nothing to the second ice cube.

3. Check the ice cubes every ten minutes. Which ice cube melts fastest? Can you guess why people put salt  
    on the streets and sidewalks in the winter?


Why Is It Winter? is from our Why Do We Have Winter? series for grades 1–2 is available from Enslow, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or your preferred vendor.
Available with library binding and in paperback

Anniversary of modern paperback revolution

On this date in 1935, in the United Kingdom, paperback editions of ten reprinted titles were printed by Penguin Books. Having taken the innovations of Albatross Books, a company which actually produced the first paperback in 1931, but because of World War II, Albatross was not able to fully carry out its ideas.

Today, even with the emergence of e-books, paperback books are still popular. Which bindings do you buy to read?

Enslow's  latest fiction series, A Champion Sports Story, is available in paperback. This 5-book series is great for those students interested in sports who want a fictional twist. And with the Olympics taking place this week, the soccer books are timely!
