We have been investigating polar bears these past few weeks. At this point we have more wonders than we do answers! But, we have been learning lots of really interesting information.
Polar Bears International is an organization that has lots of scientists working to save the polar bears. The students were curious about this:
I.S- how can they save the polar bears in they’ll eat them?
C.M- the polar bears will help each other
A.R- I wonder how people save the polar bears?
J.B- I like polar bears when they find food
E.B- I wonder why polar bears eat people?
A.P-it’s because people are meat
D.A- if people are made out of meat and the polar bears like to eat meat, how will they save the polar bears?We tweeted the wonder 'why do polar bears need to eat meat' to Polar Bears International and they told us that polar bears really like to eat blubber. We realized that's why polar bears like to eat seals, because they have blubber. We learned that polar bears also have blubber to keep them warm!

| "I wonder why polar bears do not like cold water? I think the water is cold." M.F. |

Learning about how the polar bears paws help it survive in the Arctic.

| We read a book that told us polar bears eyes flatten out when they go into the water! So fascinating! |
We are continuing to wonder and continuing to learn more about polar bears! Stay tuned!
