Winter animals, Snow & Ice!

 We had a busy, fun week exploring polar animals, snow & ice!  We learned that penguins stay warm by cuddling together and polar bears have thick fur while other polar animals have blubber.  We did an experiment with blubber protecting our hands from icy waters (see below) and experimented with melting ice cubes with different materials.  We loved painting ice with watercolors and salt as well.  Next up...space week!
