Today we reviewed what we know about our polar bear problem.
Problem: The polar bears are hungry and things are changing
What’s changing? The ice is melting and this is making it hard for the polar bears to hunt.
Today the questions were: why is the ice melting and how can we fix it?
We brainstormed different reasons why the ice would be melting and one of the students said “maybe heat is travelling from here, all the way up to the Arctic.”
We looked at that as a possibility and asked how we could fix this.
Here are some of the students’ ideas:
“We could pray to God to fix it.”
“We could invent a heat sucker to suck the heat out.”
“We could use the earth’s gravity to pull it back down.”
After discussing and questioning, we watched two videos that helped us understand why the ice is warming up. Take a look!
Now we are going to be thinking about things that WE can do to help!
