Do You Want to Build a Snowman Engineering for Kids?

The video tutorial explores building a snowman with a focus on balance and engineering principles. It begins with an introduction to the concept of balance in snowman building, likening it to engineering. The process of creating snowballs of varying sizes is explained, followed by experiments in stacking them to achieve stability. The tutorial concludes with a successful snowman structure and a reflection on snow creations.

What is the primary focus of engineers when constructing buildings?

• Aesthetics

• Cost efficiency

• Balance and stability

• Speed of construction

What is the first step in creating a snowball for building a snowman?

• Melting snow and refreezing it

• Rolling snow on the ground

• Packing snow in your hands

• Using a snowball maker

Why does the snowman fall when the smallest ball is placed at the bottom?

• The smallest ball is too wet

• The smallest ball is too heavy

• The smallest ball lacks sufficient support

• The smallest ball is too cold

Which stacking order allows the snowman to stand upright?

• Largest ball on bottom, smallest ball in middle, medium ball on top

• Largest ball on bottom, medium ball in middle, smallest ball on top

• Medium ball on bottom, smallest ball in middle, largest ball on top

• Smallest ball on bottom, medium ball in middle, largest ball on top

What additional features are added to the snowman to make it resemble a snow rat?

• A carrot nose and button eyes

• A hat and scarf

• A broom and a pipe

• Rat ears made of snow and a tail made of rope
