This afternoon P4/5 had great fun carrying out some science experiments.  We were investigating the effects of animals in the Arctic and Antarctica having blubber. We learned what blubber is and how it keeps the animals warm in the freezing conditions.

We we used timers and thermometers to see how long we could keep our bare hands in ice cold water and then how long we could keep them in using blubber mitts!

We could keep our hands in the ice cold water much longer using the blubber mitts so our hypothesis was correct!
