Snow science experiment

Have you ever wondered what is in the snow you eat? Our class was not that worried, but we thought it would be fun to check anyway! We collected some fresh, not touched snow into a cup. We then put it into a coffee filter to catch the stuff inside the snow. We placed this inside a colander so that the melted water would come out. We then put the colander into a bowl to catch all the melting water. We all agreed that the snow was fresh and very clean looking. Here is what we found. The students were amazed at what they saw after the snow had melted.
