!!!SNOWFLAKE FORMATION!!! (SNOW LIQUID CONVERSION & SCIENCE OF SNOW) SCIENCE EXPERIMENT)

Crazy Chris is headed into the snow and shows you how to measure the snow just like a real snow gage does to find out how much snow = how much rain water!

Objective: To understand how many inches of snow equate to inches of rain fall.

Materials Needed:
- Snow
- Container
- Cooking Pot
- Ruler
- Calculator

Step 1) Head outside into the snow and bring with you a container to collect snow with. Fill the container without packing the snow inside.

Step 2) Meaures the height of the snow using a measuring tape or ruler. Then dump the snow into a cookin pot and melt the snow. DO NOT let the snow boil you just need to melt the snow.

Step 3) Pour the melted back into the same container you collected the snow with. Measure the liquid using a measureing tape or ruler.

Step 4) Put the number of inches of water into yoru calculator and then hit the divide button. Enter the number of inches of snow you measured earlier and hit enter. You will notice a 12:1 ratio.

HOW IT WORKS:
The reason the water level is lower then the snow level, is because s snow flakes dont hold alot of water and they trap air inbetween them. When you melt the snow you seperate the water and air. If we measure the snow before its melted we have 15cms. When we measure the melted snow we get 1.9cms of water. If we take 1.9 divide it by 15 we get 0.126cms or 12:1 ratio which roughly means for every 30cms of snow you get 2.5cms of water. This raito of 30:2.5cms can change depending on the temp the snow formed at, as well as how much moisture is in the snow. Snowflakes start out as water vapour in the air that condenses on dust or other particles in the atmophere. If the tempture at which the water condences is below freezing, the water turns directly into frozen crystals. As more water vapour condence on the crystals they become heavy and fall. The shape of a snowflake depends on what the tempreture the water vapour freezes at, as well as the different tempretures columes of air these cyrstals fall through before they get to the ground.

this is my favorite Science File. :)

@tfan0 You like the snow hey :) I like snow but I dont like the cold that comes with it, which is why I moved to LA, Not as cold as my previous snowly climate in Michigan.

[thesodathief]

dude your so cool screw bill nye hes dumb and not as funny as you your actualy enjoyable...lovin the vids!!!keep em comin!!

[Socoolscienceshow]

@thesodathief Yeah screw bill nye :D Thanks Im glad you enjoy the sci files :D

@abeismain Check your message box I got to your question :)

[abeismain]

@Socoolscienceshow dammit! there is only 1 of you!?!!?? Sorry I didn't know that.

haha... Anyway, when you say "please understand that..." makes me sound like i was spamming my question. I didn't mean to come to the point where you have to say "please".

[Socoolscienceshow]

@abeismain I have seen your question in your my inbox and I answer all questions in the order I recieved them. Please understand that others have been waiting for thier questions to be answered as well and theres only 1 of me to answers everyones questions. Hang in there I promise your question wil lbe answered.

[abeismain]

How do you test the water quality? lets say you want to SEE what's the difference between sink water and bottled water.

@Bostonian7799 I think it was about a foot Im not sure all the snow scenes were filmed around Xmas time so that was like 3 weeks ago.

Hey Chris! Good video, very interesting and informative! How much snow were you getting around the time?
