There’s no more denying that summer has arrived. Temperatures are climbing, which means donning shorts, swimming over weekends, and cooling down with frozen treats. While heat is on your mind, we want to share a neat trick with you!
Identifying a precious metal can be done in many ways, often with inexpensive equipment at home. One of the easiest home tests allows you to see if a silver-colored metal is actually made of silver.
Silver is a great conductor of both electricity and thermal energy, the latter of which makes it easy to test the metal. If you’re wondering if a coin, round, or bar is made of real silver, simply place an ice cube on top of it. Real silver will cause the ice to begin melting immediately, at a much faster rate than would be caused by most other room temperature objects. This happens because silver rapidly transfers heat to the ice.
If only we could transfer heat away from our bodies during the hottest time of year! What’s your favorite way of staying cool during summer? Let us know in the comments section below to enter our July giveaway. That’s right, entering is as easy as leaving a comment! Make sure your comment is sent in by July 23, 2017.

Best of luck and happy summer!
Went to the park overlooking the whole valley.from east LA to the east, all the way to the Santa Monica mountains to the west. And to the Hollywood hills to the north. When dusk hit, man, did everything turn loose! The whole area I just described was full of fireworks of every kind. And it was spectacular! It didn’t let up until after midnight.
Putting my head in the Koolerator, and looking for an icy coool one!
I like going to the pool and just staying in there and chatting with friends.

I enjoy checking into a hotel during the hot summer st the beach. Putting on a lose fitting pair of pajama pants and sitting in front of the air conditioning, letting the cool air blow up one pant leg and come out the other.
