We learned about how penguins stay warm in cold environments. They have blubber! The blubber is a thick type of fat that keeps the body warm and dry. We did a little experiment to see if blubber does keep us warm. We had blubber in a baggie and an ice cold tub of water We placed our hand in a different baggie (so we wouldn't get slimy) and placed that baggie in the blubber baggie. We then placed our blubber hand and our bare hand into the ice water. There was a DEFINITE difference!!
