Why do polar bears, whales, and walruses have blubber? This is a fascinating adaptation of warm-blooded animals which allows them to live and thrive in a cold environment (such as the ocean or the arctic). How can we model this live-saving animal adaptation? In this session, students will design and conduct an experiment in order to identify which types of material can best model the blubber of marine mammals. Materials needed for this activity. 

Grades 7-8. Fee: $20, registration required. Some scholarships available.
