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.
