How does a thick layer of fat help polar bears stay warm?

Try making a blubber glove to find out.

What You Need:

• 1 large bowl

• 1 tray of ice cubes

• 2 gallon-size plastic bags

• 2 cups vegetable shortening

• cold water

What You Do:

1. Place ice in the bowl.

2. Fill the bowl with cold water.

3. Scoop the shortening into one of the plastic bags.

4. Place your hand in the other plastic bag.

5. Now slide your plastic-covered hand into the bag with

the shortening.

6. Smoosh the shortening around until it forms a layer

all around your plastic-covered hand. The shortening,

which is a vegetable fat, will act like a layer of blubber

around your hand.

7. Put both of your hands into the bowl of icy water. Be

careful not to let the water get into your plastic bags.
