Soak Up the Sun

Have you ever felt the heat from the sun on a hot summer day? That is because energy can transfer from different systems through heat! Heat is a form of energy that we can't see, but we can feel! The sun can transfer this heat energy down to Earth even though we are far away through a process called radiation. Radiation is how objects can transfer heat without touching each other. In this activity we will explore how heat can be absorbed by different objects!
