What do you need if you want to make something happen? Energy! And we've got all kinds of ways to demonstrate this concept in a very literal and easy-to-see way. (Not to mention fun!) Students can see us putting energy into something and causing some kind of effect -- of course, you can connect it to getting energy back out, too! And some of these things you can easily do at home or school!!

This episode is also appropriate for a chemistry-focused class as we look briefly at how chemicals give off different colors of light when burning.
