So, do same size ice cubes with maybe different color food coloring? Different color fabrics or something like that...
Keep is simple, not light meters and pyrometers. At least she'll understand what's going on.

Okay so maybe I was using her experiment as an excuse to get an infrared pyrometer
I've been trying to figure out something that we could do without having to rely on it being sunny because the weather has been really crazy down here right now (it even rained!!). I guess we could do the ice cube experiment under a spot light if necessary.
