Keeping Archie Bear warm

Today we investigated the best type of material to keep Archie Bear warm in the winter. He doesn't have a coat like Frankie, so we thought we would find out what would make the best one for him.

We made an experiment and pretended that a beaker was Archie, with warm water inside to be like his warm blood. We thought of ways to keep it fair, like having the same amount of water in each one. Then we wrapped the beakers in fur, paper, plastic, bubble wrap or wadding. We left one without a 'jacket' on to see what happened to that.

Oli, Daisy, Rueben and Caitlin checked the thermometers carefully to see what the readings were. We will share our results very soon!
