Jared demonstrates the concept of heat rising by using colored water. He prepares room temperature water, a blue ice cube, and a red bottle of hot water. By observing the colored water, he shows that warm water rises and cold water sinks due to differences in density. This experiment visually illustrates the principle that warm air rises and cold air sinks, creating a stratification effect.
