Our bodies have special sensors called <strong>receptors<\/strong> that help us feel different sensations. When we touch something hot, like a warm cup of cocoa, these receptors send a message to our brain saying, &#8220;Hey, this is hot!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But be careful! Some things can be <em>too<\/em> hot or too cold to touch. Always ask a grown-up before touching something that looks hot or cold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Try this experiment and see why.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All you need is: three pans or bowls, hot water and cold water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Step 1:&nbsp;<\/em>Prepare hot water. Be sure the water is not too hot to put your hands in it.<br><em>Step 2:&nbsp;<\/em>Half fill one with hot water. Please ensure the water is not hot enough to boil !!!!<br><em>Step 3:&nbsp;<\/em>Place lukewarm water in the second.<br><em>Step 4:<\/em>&nbsp;Place pour very cold water in the third.<br><em>Step 5:<\/em>&nbsp;Set them in a row on the table, with the lukewarm water in the center.<br><em>Step 6:&nbsp;<\/em>Place your left hand in the hot water and your right hand in the cold water. Keep them in for a few minutes.<br><em>Step 7:&nbsp;<\/em>Take your hands out, shake off the water, and put both into the middle bowl.<br>How do they feel?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-spectra-id=\"spectra-201c017d-c8dc-4ed4-8cf6-354fefeafde9\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.energykids.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/heat01.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-208\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>What you will see:&nbsp;<\/em>Your hands feels the temperature of the water different.
