Science - Can I carry out a practical enquiry?

Key Question: How do polar bears keep warm?

Polar bears are amazing creatures - but how do they keep warm in Arctic conditions?

Polar Bears can’t just put a warm coat on, so they have adapted to grow a very special layer of fat called “blubber” which keeps them warm.

Let’s find out how it works: Today in our science you are going to make a “blubber glove”

There are two choices, the messy one and the clean one! Click the options below to see the ingredients/equipment list and the two options;
