On Wednesday during our 

Life Science Class,

we learned more about animals adapting for the winter weather.

Mrs. Rall taught us about how fat keeps some animals warm during the winter by doing an experiment with us.

First, we all stuck our "naked" hands in a bucket of 

ICE COLD WATER!

Brrrrrrrr….it was very cold without anything on our hands!

After that, Mrs. Rall put a glove on each of us and covered it with "fat" (Crisco).  Then we put our hands in the cold water again.  This time the water didn't feel as cold because of that layer of "winter fat" we put on!
