How much snow is that?

 

❄️In this updated activity, students will estimate, calculate, and analyze the weight of a snow pile sitting on top of a car. Using real-world data, they’ll apply math to determine if the car can handle the load and explore potential hazards, including what happens when the snow melts. 

 

The starter activity, which focuses on estimation and reasoning, can also stand alone as a full 30–45-minute lesson for younger students.

📝 Suitable for Grades 5 to 7
⏰ 40–50 minutes, depending on the depth of discussion
