Students at Coleman Elementary explored how polar bears stay warm by learning about the important role blubber plays in Arctic environments! 🐻❄️
To experience this firsthand, students created a “blubber” layer by placing one hand in a glove inside a sealed bag while leaving the other hand uncovered, then tested both hands in ice-cold water.
Students quickly observed that the “blubber” hand stayed warmer and better protected, helping them understand how blubber keeps polar bears safe and warm in freezing conditions! ❄️

Pacific High School students in Intro to Wood class were highly engaged as they worked on their individual builds! 🪵
Through this process, students learned how to design, plan, measure, cut, and apply joinery skills while creating either a bench or a stool. They also practiced finishing techniques, including assembly and staining, to bring their projects to completion.
A strong sense of pride was evident in Mr. Miller’s class as students focused on craftsmanship and made each project their own! 👏
