Why Can't You Put Metal in the Microwave?

Metal objects can sometimes spark in a microwave because electromagnetic waves cause electrical charges to move through the metal, especially around sharp points. In this episode, kids learn how electric arcs form and how microwaves heat food!

Curious Kids Every Day is a daily, interactive podcast that respects your child’s intelligence and curiosity. I created this to be a show I would be happy to have my kids listen to.
