Category: World Knowledge · Duration: ~5 min

Materials

• microwave-safe bowl
• leftover food or cheese

1. Put a safe snack in a microwave-safe bowl together. 2. Let your little one press the buttons (with your help) and watch through the window. 3. Count down the last five seconds together: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! 4. Carefully open the door (you handle the hot dish) and show how the food changed — the cheese melted, the soup got steamy. 5. Talk about microwaves making tiny water bits shake really fast, which makes heat.
