Can you help me explain (in simple terms for a 5 year old child) why some colors of popsicles melt faster than others?
Light colors look light because light from the sun or other light sources mostly reflects (bounces) off them and comes to our eyes. Dark colors look dark because that light doesn’t bounce off, but instead gets absorbed by the object. Since the light can’t get to our eyes, the object looks dark. That light that doesn’t bounce off gets turned into heat and ends up helping raise the temperature of the popsicle faster (therefore making it melt faster). So, darker colored popsicles should melt faster than lighter colored popsicles.
