We learnt about conduction, convection and radiation. The learners were able to use radiation from the sun to light a fire. Whilst it’s a fun activity there’s an important message to remember, even here in the North East the sun’s radiation can be hot enough to start a fire. Always take any glass bottles home with us as an empty bottle can start a fire on a sunny day.
