Thermal effects

Chemical processes can be really “hot-n-cold” sometimes! With the ''Thermal effects'' set by MEL Science, you’ll observe how some compounds react so vigorously that the heat they release melts their container, while others cause the temperature to plunge just by dissolving in ordinary water. You will also see how the lightest touch can turn a cold liquid into hot crystals in the blink of an eye!
