Class Experience

Polar bears have blubber to keep them warm in the cold climate they live in.
We will literally have a “hands on” experiment where the student makes a blubber glove and put their hand in ice water!  Having an interactive experience will help them grasp concepts easier and it will be a lot of fun! As they imagine they are a polar bear while they dip their hand in the icy water.

Questions will be asked, predictions will be made, and students will interact with each other as they learn about polar bears. 

Needed:
Crisco shortening (or generic)
2 gallon sized ziploc baggies
Bowl
Ice water

We will have an interactive discussion about polar bears and  blubber. Students will make predictions and observations of what will happen when they wear their blubber glove. This memorable experiment will help them grasp the concepts behind blubber and warmth.

Learning Goals

Teacher expertise and credentials
My favorite subject has always been science (from sports science to classroom science), I love it all! I love teaching and helping kids understand these concepts.  As a physician, I have taken many science classes and I love that I can take these concepts and make out fun for kids.
