About This Activity
3-6 year olds: Calling all polar explorers! Children set off on an Arctic expedition to meet the seals of icy waters. They slip on a blubber glove to feel how seals stay warm, test how whiskers help find food, and learn why sea ice matters, discovering small ways to care for Arctic animals. 7-12 year olds: Students lead an Arctic expedition focused on one remarkable animal: the seal. Through hands-on experiments with blubber insulation and whisker sensing, observation at the Aquarium and sea ice science, they discover how seals thrive in extreme cold and how a changing climate is affecting their home.
