The pre-k class at the Lauren Elise Bier Nursery School has been learning about habitats. In order to better understand the arctic habitat, they did a science experiment. They took their bare hand and placed it into one bowl filled with ice water. On the other hand they had a ziplock bag glove that had blubber (crisco and water) in it. They put the gloved hand in a second bowl of ice water and tried to determine which bowl was colder. All the children agreed the hand without the glove was colder. They learned that blubber keeps animals warm in the arctic. Being a scientist is so much fun!
