UMES STEM educator Brad Hartle shows Good Morning Delmarva another kid-friendly science experiment

WMDT – UMES STEM educator Brad Hartle was back on Good Morning Delmarva to share another kid-friendly science experiment you can try at home!

This time, he taught Jake and Tierra about heat transfer using ice-melting blocks which is perfect timing with the extreme temperatures we’ve been experiencing on Delmarva.

Hartle used two wooden blocks with different weights, textures, and temperatures.

He explains that one is made of aluminum, and the other is made of a more plastic material, influencing how fast the ice melts.

Aluminum is a heat conductor meaning the heat will transfer from the object to the ice quicker.
