Fill the bowl with ice and cold water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Put a bag on your hand and cover the outside of it with Crisco. Then carefully put another bag over top of it so the Crisco is covered. This will be the \u201cblubber bag\u201d. Set it aside for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Make the \u201ccontrol bag\u201d by repeating Step 2 without the Crisco. This bag will help you see how cold the water feels when you don\u2019t have blubber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. Put both bags on different hands and dunk them in the bowl of ice water. Feel how much warmer the hand in the \u201cblubber bag\u201d is than the one in the \u201ccontrol bag\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5. Want to see how other materials compare? Try the experiment again using wool, cotton balls, or even tomato sauce! Which keeps you the warmest? You tell us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide\" style=\"grid-template-columns:21% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"237\" height=\"148\" src=\"\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Camera.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-39751\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Camera.png 237w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Camera-236x148.png 236w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 237px) 100vw, 237px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>We want to see your blubber experiment in action!<\/b> Share a photo with us on social media or send an email to <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"mailto:membership@earthrangers.com\" target=\"_blank\">membership@earthrangers.com<\/a>!  <\/h4>\n<p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theearthrangersshop.com\/collections\/wildlife-adoptions\/products\/narwhal-adoption-kit-plush-bundle?&#038;utm_source=iContact&#038;utm_medium=email&#038;utm_campaign=EM22+Team&#038;utm_content=APR7+EcoAct\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"176\" src=\"\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/narwhal-buddy-narwhal-adoption.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-590942\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/narwhal-buddy-narwhal-adoption.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/narwhal-buddy-narwhal-adoption-300x88.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Narwhal_sponsorPlatesEN.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-589525\" width=\"600\" height=\"173\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Narwhal_sponsorPlatesEN.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Narwhal_sponsorPlatesEN-300x87.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to surviving the cold, no one does it better than our Arctic buddies.
