Anna: Hi Ben! Do you know how a car engine stays cool?, Ben: Hmm, not really. How does it work?, Anna: Well, the engine has a pump and a special liquid. The pump pushes the cool liquid around the engine to cool it down., Ben: Oh, I see. But what happens to the liquid?, Anna: The liquid gets hot when it cools the engine. It can get as hot as 100°C!, Ben: Wow, that’s really hot! What happens next?, Anna: The hot liquid goes through something called a thermostat. It controls the temperature. Then, the liquid goes into the radiator., Ben: What’s a radiator?, Anna: It’s like a big metal box with a fan. The fan cools the hot liquid, and the cool liquid goes to the bottom of the radiator., Ben: And then?, Anna: The cool liquid leaves the radiator, goes through the pump again, and back into the engine. It’s like a cycle!, Ben: That’s so interesting! Thanks for explaining, Anna., Anna: No problem, Ben! Now you know how the engine stays cool..
