Polar Bear Walk

Every year, polar bears in Hudson Bay walk up to 5,000 kilometers across Arctic sea ice in search for food to raise their cubs. But the sea ice on which they depend is changing, and in some cases disappearing altogether. (WWF - 2019)

Fundraising to Adopt a Polar Bear

Students are concerned for the animals of the Arctic. They can reduce greenhouse gasses by walking more. You can support your child in their efforts to be positive citizens of the environment by helping them raise money to donate to  ‘Adopt a Polar Bear’ through the WWF.

Suggested Ways to Donate Money
Donate a small amount of money (For example, .25 cents) each time your child offers to drive less. Tally the total amount and send in your donation to your child’s teacher by Thursday, March 21.

Encourage them to:
  • walk/bike instead of drive
  • park a block or two from your destination and walk the rest of the way

We decided we wanted to explore this further. One student was so helpful in bringing in 3 containers of slime for us to explore! Thank you to this student! Ms. McCullough decided to add in Oobleck to the experiment as well. We described both the solid and liquid characteristics of slime and oobleck then wrote a conclusion on whether it should be classified as a solid, liquid or both and explain why. Through some research online, Ms. McCullough found out this information online: What Is Oobleck? Oobleck isn’t a liquid or a solid, it’s a "non-Newtonian fluid". At times, it may seem like a solid or a liquid but it acts differently than a normal solid or liquid. Making oobleck is a great science experiment to show how changes in  pressure  can change the...
