Polar Animals

We have wrapped up our mini NF unit on Polar Animals. We had so much fun exploring real text with photographs, and learning all about penguins and polar bears. The adorable polar bears made their way home already, but here are the penguins we made, and the facts we wrote about polar bears.

We also did a science experiment using blubber. We took some freezing cold water and put one hand in a blubber glove, and the other hand right in the water. We wanted to see which hand we could keep in the water the longest. Our record time was 30 seconds with no blubber protecting our hands!

We decided that penguins are lucky to have that extra layer and swim in the cold, cold water!
