Blubber hands

We wondered how whales keep warm when they are in the cold sea. We know whales have warm blood like us but we get cold in the water.

We had lots of ice. The ice floated like icebergs and the water was really cold.

We put our hands in the cold water and tried to leave them there for a long time. Our hands were freezing!

We made a "blubber glove" by putting some fat in a bag. We put our hand in another bag and then put it into the bag of fat.

We put our blubber hand in the water. It wasn't cold at all!

We put our hand in the water. It was so cold that it felt like your hand was broken. The blubber was different. It felt like you were in your bed all snuggled up. When we put our other hand in it was even colder!

I put my hand in the cold water. It was cold. I put my hand in the fat, then I put my hand in the water. It was so warm. We were seeing what it feels like to be a whale.
