Kids will have a great time discovering heat with these 8 engaging experiments.  This is a great way to introduce students to the laws of thermodynamics.  Kids can melt an ice cube with conduction.  Find a complete recipe for making ice cream in a bag.  How does salt affect ice?  Great for winter science.  Expand to learning about chemical reactions.

My students and I both love doing science experiments. Last week we did my favorite experiment for introducing the concept of heat transfer. As I circulated among the groups, leaning in to ask questions and make observations, I was reminded of just why this experiment rocks my socks. Each group needs: * a medium sized container for cold water (I use a salad-sized clear plastic lunch tub) * a small container for warm water (I use a 5oz can of tomato sauce) * 2 thermometers * 1 cup of cold…
