In this activity, learners discover that our hands are not reliable thermometers.

In two separate bags, learners mix water with Epsom salts and detergent.

This Exploratorium activity can be used in many contexts because geysers are great opportunities for learning about heat and temperature changes as well as geological/space science phenomena.

In this activity best suited as a demonstration, learners observe that when a piece of iron gets too hot, it loses its ability to be magnetized.
