Petroleum Jelly |
so I cannot take an credit, but I have tweaked it and made it my own, of course!
First we start out with petroleum jelly on our hands and I go around to all the kids and have them dip their hands inside ice water and pull them out. They notice that the water rolls off just as it would on a penguin's feathers.

They love this! I am actually doing this experiment with my class tomorrow and will upload pictures as soon as possible. In the mean time I will include a recording sheet that my students use to record their findings.
Enjoy the freebie!!
That's great.
ReplyDeleteI'd never thought of doing penguins or polar bears. Makes me rethink December altogether. I'm really curious as to what sort of activities you do, aside from this one. I might do penguins & polar bears in January.
