Are you as Tough as a Polar Bear?

Our 2nd grade students recently paired-up with our 6th graders for a fun science lab to see how a polar bear survives in the arctic. They donned some rubber gloves and tested their tolerance for the cold as they plunged their little hands in ice water and timed themselves. On round two, they coated their gloved hand with blubber (Crisco), re-gloved their hands and tried it again. These kiddos are tough...some lasting over 4 minutes in the frigid temperatures! Great collaboration and teamwork!

Thanks to the dynamic teaching duo of Mrs. Anacker and Ms. Burr for a fun and informative science lesson!
