Blubber Experiment

In Room 2 we found out that animals in Antarctica, like penguins, have blubber under their skins. Blubber is fat. We did an experiment to see if blubber helps to keep penguins warm. 

What does blubber do?

For the experiment we needed fat, ice, and rubber gloves.

We used vegetable fat inside a glove for one hand and our bare hand in the other glove. We put them both into icy water and waited to see which hand got cold first.

 We all found our hand covered in fat

 did not get cold. We learnt that

 blubber helps Antarctic animals stay

 warm in freezing temperatures.
