In January, we learned all about Arctic animals through fiction and non-fiction books.  We also watched live videos about life in the Arctic.  Each child created individual non-fiction books about walruses.  The children constructed a diagram and designed their very own walrus, following step-by-step instructions.  We culminated our study with a science experiment with "blubber".  The children had to make a hypothesis and guess if their hands would stay warm while wearing a "blubber glove."  They dipped both hands in "Arctic" water and observed the differences through their senses.  The "blubber gloves" really worked!
