🐉📝Mrs. Overbay's class conducted an experiment to imitate how the adaptation of a thick layer of blubber protects polar bears from the arctic environment. The hand with the blubber glove represents a well adapted organism, a polar bear, that could survive in the harsh arctic conditions, and the hand without the glove represents an animal that cannot survive in the arctic. The students compared the two and constructed an argument about why the polar bears can survive better in their environment than other non-arctic organisms.
