Today we looked at heat. We found there were a number of ways heat could be made. We looked at  human, mechanical or electrical means of creating heat today. Sanding a block of wood or using a rubber quickly both meant we created friction and things got hot pretty quickly. The girls tried out the hairdryer (and so did some of the boys.....I think they have used one before). The lamp also got hot pretty quickly if it was left on for a while. The skateboard wheels couldn't be kept going long enough or fast enough to make any real heat. Air going into the airbed made the valve on the pump hot if you were able to pump hard and fast enough.
