Blubber Lab

Based on the knowledge I gained from the blubber lab, I discovered how homeostasis is maintained by feedback loops in regards to blubber. A negative feedback loop is a process where change is prevented and a certain set point is kept. In this experiment, the negative feedback loop was the blubber preventing the changing temperature of the thermometer. Therefore, blubber is a method of homeostasis, because it prevents the ideal temperature of the thermometer from dropping. Our data shows this as well. When we used Jello, cornstarch, and aluminum foil, it kept our thermometer’s internal temperature 20 degrees higher than the ice’s temperature of 0 degrees Celsius. Although a lower temperature, it was the same results with negative feedback loops
