Experiments: Types of heat
Further exploration on “the box of light” with aluminium foil inside the box to reflect infrared rays Using an infrared thermometer and a dimmer to maintain the temperature of an arm (as a stand-in for an infant)Marked points for taking temperature An infrared coil used to heat water The coil greatly increased the temperature in the box rapidlyHowever, due to the uncontrolled heat, the coil burned up! It seems that we’ll have to look at other methods.
