Audience: 5th grade and older

This slide is designed to interact with the audience: three planets are shown with their average temperatures (in F and C); the second view shows which metal would melt at those temperatures.

Key message: Observed exoplanets are very hot, so much so that many common metals would melt.

NOTE: This PowerPoint file has built-in interactive elements. To view them, you must be in "Slide Show" mode; you can then move to the next view either by clicking your mouse, the spacebar, or the arrow keys. This slide will not work in "regular viewing mode."
