Heat - Naughty Balloons
This starter clip from Teachers TV shows how colour affects heat absorption. Scientist Dr Mark Biddiss holds various coloured balloons over a heat source, watched by children from Orion Primary School in north London. The experiment shows how balloons react differently in relation to heat depending on their colour. It could be used as a starter to engage interest and promote discussion.
