Tundra
The Blubber Glove Experiment
In this experiment, we learned how animal blubber keeps an animal warm in the tundra. We made a "blubber" glove by putting shortening in between two gallon size bags. We sealed the top with blue duct tape so the shortening wouldn't ooze out. Then, we were able to put our hands in the "glove" without getting messy! The shortening acted like blubber, surrounding the hand to keep it warm when it was submerged in the ice. To feel the difference, we put our other hand in the ice, as well. These are Sofia's hands!
