Kindergarten and Level One
Today, we learned about arctic mammals. We used vegetable shortening to demonstrate
how blubber actually keeps the warm-blooded animals warm!
After this, we practiced using an intersecting Venn diagram. Some of the arctic mammals were also ocean
mammals. The students did this task very
well. We are going to practice with
other Venn diagrams next class.
Here are a few fun videos of arctic mammals that we did not
see in class:

Listen to these animals snore and notice their blubber
(fat). Remember what that does for this
large warm-blooded arctic mammal.

Level Two and Three
We discussed the moon’s surface. We defined craters, meteoroids, and moon
seas. Our demonstration of moon craters
involved flour and cocoa.
