Today we learned that polar bears, and many other arctic animals, have blubber to keep them warm and help them float easily in the water.
We got to try out the blubber by sticking our hand inside a special glove made from two Ziplock bags with Crisco in between. We called it the "Blubber Glove."
We put both of our hands, one with the glove and one without, into a tub of icy water. It was surprising how warm our hand with the glove was.
