Practical Applications

## Try Out Science at Home! You can do simple experiments to see energy transfer in action. - Make a solar oven out of a pizza box to melt chocolate with sunlight. - Put your hand near (but not touching) a lamp to feel heat moving by radiation. ## Why Do Experiments? Doing experiments helps you understand how energy moves and connects to your everyday life!

Examples

  • Using a magnifying glass to focus sunlight and warm a spot on a piece of paper.
  • Feeling how a metal spoon left in hot soup gets warm quickly.
