In expedition today, we set up our experiment. First we thought of a title for our experiment “How does temperature of water change when using different materials?”. Then, we came up with a prediction – what we thought would happen in this experiment. We had some great ideas such as “the water in the glass cup will be hotter because it will act like a blanket and keep the heat in.” We then wrote our equipment list. Finally, we set up our experiment. We can’t wait to record the results and finish writing our science report. 🥼✍️

In expedition this afternoon, we looked at what climate change is and how it is effecting the environment and animal habitats. We discovered that climate is the weather patterns in a region for over 30 years. We then looked at how the climate has changed in Svalbard. We used our learning from the previous lesson and found out that the sea temperature and air temperature in Svalbard has increased and this is melting the ice therefore impacting polar bear habitats.
