Our classroom has been researching Polar Bears for several days now! The kids are really loving all the nonfiction research and videos! Our main essential question during our research has been to find out "How do Polar Bears Survive in the Arctic?" We have learned about their multiple layers of fur, translucent hairs that attract and trap sunlight, and now we are learning about FAT or blubber :) Aren't these guys just super cute in their science lab coats? Love it!
We had buckets of icey water and blubber gloves!
Each kiddo got to try out the icey water using one blubber glove and...a bare hand!
I'm sure you can guess which hand was warmer!
Parker was so nervous!!!
Anthony cracking his knuckles...preparing for the cold!
Now we know first hand just how important Polar Bear's blubber is in the Arctic!
