Melting Point - Experiment
1. Students get a bit of coconut oil in small petri dishes
2. The oil is solid below 25 C
3. The students warm it up through glass with the heat of their hand
4. Our body temperature is 36.6 C. Even a small change is not healthy
37 C body temperature already means an inflammation
5. We sweat to cool down, and move to heat up, so our body temperature stays the same
6. The oil shall melt and become liquid from the heat. If you leave it, the oil shall slowly freeze back to solid state
7. Coconut oil is safe to handle. It is a food
