Science: Can I carry out a practical enquiry?

Last week we looked at how polar bears keep warm, this week we will be learning how penguins stay dry in freezing temperatures!

Watch the clip:

Wet feathers would make the birds much colder than dry feathers! When the penguins feathers are covered with oils and waxes, their feathers are "water-proof," and the penguins stay much warmer.

Today you will be carrying out a practical experiment to discover how the oil keeps the feathers dry!

Click to see today's experiment;

To demonstrate how oil can keep feathers dry, this is what we are going to do:

Method:

1- Fill the plastic bag about 1/4 full with water.

Add blue food coloring to make a "blue ocean." You could have green or clear oceans too. Optionally, tape the bag closed.

2- Carefully add oil to the water. Put in enough that you can see an oil layer on the top.

Notice how they are not mixing

4- MIX THEM UP!!!

After mixing them for a minute, hold the bag still -

What do you notice?

The ocean water does not mix with the penguins’ feathers when they are wet because they are covered in oil.This keeps the penguins dry and warm in freezing temperatures.

What happens if you cover your finger with oil and dip it in water?

Make a prediction and try it out!
