Ganon Bet continued our topic of winter and hibernation by doing a science experiment. We used a tray of ice. First we felt the tray with just our bare hands and we realized how cold it must feel to the animals that don't migrate south. We then placed some Crisco(fat) into a plastic glove and again felt the ice. We then understood why animals that stay in the north during the winter eat so much before the winter to devel0p a layer of fat from extra food. Ask your child how the ice felt through the Crisco compared to feeling it with bare hands.
