Growing up, I was always told that wearing black would make you hotter and that lighter colors would make you cooler. I never really understood why that was true or if it even was true. Now I know that dark colors absorb sunlight, while light colors reflect the sunlight. This article talks about the ice cube experiment that was used to teach this to students. What are some other hands on experiments we could use to teach this to students?
