Here's a fun science experiment to help your child learn more about how nerves work.
You'll need three large bowls. To conduct the experiment:
Your child's "hot water hand" will feel cold. The "cold water hand" will feel hot, even though the water in the bowl is at room temperature. Why? Nerves adapt to the environment around them. When the hands go from one temperature to another, the nerves sense the change in temperature relative to what they are used to. The hot hand feels cooler, and the cold hand feels warmer.
