Thermodynamics Lessons

Check off each lesson as you learn it:

  • Warm = Fast Molecules (Colasanti's) - Heat makes molecules move fast
  • Heat Flows Hot β†’ Cold (Kitchen) - Warmth moves toward cold places
  • Fire = Energy Release (Blacksmith) - Burning releases stored energy
  • Insulation Works Both Ways (Ice House) - Keeps cold IN or warmth IN
  • Thermal Mass (Colchester) - Big things take longer to change temperature
  • Sun Exposure Matters (Toboggan Hill) - North slopes stay colder
  • Architecture as Insulation (Christ Church) - Buildings protect boundaries
  • Animals Know (Bird Sanctuary) - Living things respond to temperature

The Song

Sing as you collect each piece (accumulator pattern - add a verse each time):

First we found his coal eyes on the shore, on the shore
First we found his coal eyes on the shore
And we're bringing Frosty home

Then we found his carrot nose so cold, nose so cold
Then we found his carrot nose so cold
Coal eyes on the shore
And we're bringing Frosty home

Then we found his magic hat up high, hat up high
Then we found his magic hat up high
Carrot nose so cold
Coal eyes on the shore
And we're bringing Frosty home

[Continue adding verses for each piece...]

When It's Done

When all pieces are collected, return to The Hole.

Build Frosty in the cold of the backyard.

Put on his hat.

Watch him come back to life.

Remind him: Stay away from the warm places, Frosty. You're made of snow.


Every piece is a lesson. Every stop is a verse. Every snowman is worth saving.
