Try sitting down for a science lesson over summer break and most kids are bound to rebel. If it doesn’t involve sun, water and play, they don’t want any part of it. Introduce something color-changing into the equation, however, and there’s a good chance they’ll never even see an understanding of thermochromism coming at them. From hair clips to rash guards, the products featured here will completely change color when warmed by the sun. Tell them ahead of time or just let them see it as the color develops. Either way, they’ll think you’re working some sort of scientific magic.
