Arctic and Antarctica Science Experiment

This is a 3^rd class experiment. We were testing to see if butter and margarine (which we used as a substitute for animal blubber) could keep animals warm in the freezing cold Arctic and Antarctica.

We got two freezer bags, turned one inside out and pressed the seals together. Next we put margarine and butter between the two layers. This created a glove of margarine and butter.

We got two buckets of water and poured ice into both. After that we started testing our hypotheses. We took turns putting one hand straight into the freezing water and putting the other hand, which was covered in our blubber glove, into the freezing water.

We found that the blubber would help to keep you warm in freezing conditions. And we also had lots of fun!
