Heat & Thermodynamics

Air can be quite an effective heat insulator as it does not let heat pass through it easily. A thermos flask, polystyrene cup, or double glazed windows are all good examples of a layer of air acting as a...

In this experiment we will create a dramatic coloured fountain by using two jars of water, one with hot water and one with cold water. The hot water in the bottom jar wants to rise to be above the...

People often wear white or very light coloured clothes on a hot summer day, rather than black or dark coloured clothing, as they tend to stay cooler when they wear lighter clothes. In this experiment we will test the...

Study how heating air cause it to rise with a bulb and some baby powder in this science experiment.

In this science experiment learn how friction can be produced by moving a single substance to create heat.
