WHAT YOU’LL NEED: • Bowl • Water • Ice • Vegetable shortening • Spoon • Plastic bags, big enough for your hand to fit inside • Duct tape INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Create your freezing cold water! Pour your water and ice into your bowl. Make sure that you can still put both your hands in without the water overflowing. 2. Make your blubber glove! Spoon some vegetable shortening into a plastic bag. It should be enough to cover your hand. The shortening will act like the blubber! 3. Place the empty bag inside the shortening bag. Fold the edges of the bags over so the shortening is trapped inside. You can seal this edge with duct tape. 4. Now that the shortening is sealed inside, squish it around so that it is evenly spread and will cover your whole hand. 5. Time to test! Put one hand in the blubber glove. Then, put both hands in the ice water. What do you notice? How long can you keep your blubber glove hand in the water? Use a timer to find out! Many arctic animals, like polar bears, have a layer of blubber to keep them warm. Find out how it works with this cool experiment!
