Explore the concepts of heat and temperature through impressive experiments!

What is the difference between heat and temperature? Why do some materials feel colder than others? Why are pan handles usually made of plastic? Why do we throw salt in the streets before it snows?

We will experiment with simple materials to discover concepts related to heat, temperature, thermal conductivity, insulation, and latent heat. 

Gather all necessary materials, prepare your space, and join us on this online science workshop! You will need the following materials:

- 2 transparent glasses with a capacity of approximately 200-500mL

- Hot (boiling) water (About 1-1.5L)

- Ice cubes (1 to 2 full ice cube trays)

- Cooking salt (1 tablespoon)

- White or brown sugar (1 tablespoon)

- Butter or Margarine (3 teaspoons)

- Food thermometer (digital or analog with range from -10 to 150 ° C)

- Food coloring in liquid form (any color, not gel)

- 3 cups or mugs with a capacity of approximately 120-350mL

- 1 metal spoon

- 1 plastic spoon

- 1 paper or bamboo spoon

- 1 wooden (not plastic) cutting surface

- 1 metal surface (can be the bottom of a pot, a metal plate, or a simple pan without a coating)

- 2-3 plastic or wooden cloth pegs 

Only one computer (alongside a webcam and a microphone) with internet connection is required to participate in the workshop.
