We made fire using ONLY motion 🔥 | Sci Sparks

Welcome back to Sci Sparks! Our first episode this season concerns how inelastic collisions — collisions between objects that can't store their kinetic energy as elastic potential energy — generate enough thermal energy to burn paper. Stick around to the end to see an inelastic collision resulting in a 4,000-degree thermite explosion! McWane Science Center’s mission is to “spark wonder and curiosity about our world through hands-on science.” To accomplish this mission, McWane Science Center combines our unique assets to create unique, hands-on, science-learning experiences that parents and teachers value and kids love. McWane Science Center has welcomed millions of visitors since opening its doors. Explorers — from ages 1 to 100 — flock year-round to see, to hear, to touch and to experience the wonder of science in one of the South’s most unique venues. https://www.mcwane.org/ https://www.facebook.com/mcwanesciencecenter/ https://www.instagram.com/mcwanescience/
