Blubber...

This week we learned all about the polar bear. Part of our learning was to find out how they stayed warm in the cold arctic. Did you know that polar bears have a layer of fat called blubber? This blubber is what helps them to stay warm. We used ice, Ziploc bags, and fat :) to see how blubber works. The ice was very cold on our hand that did not go inside the package of blubber but the hand that was inside stayed nice and warm. So those of you that freeze all the time might need a little more blubber. ha ha

We also celebrated Janice for winning our Global Character Award Knowledgeable for the month of January.
