POLAR BEAR ADAPTATION  

In Science, Year 6 students are learning about animal adaptations. Students are exploring the growth and survival of living things and how their adaptations evolve in their habitat and environment.

This week the experiment was exploring how polar bears survive in their habitat, in an icy cold environment. Students created a glove with copha to mimic the polar bear’s thick layer of skin and placed it in ice-cold water. Students were surprised at how the fat layer created insulation against the cold ice water.
