My hypothesis - Heat reacts with the Zinc Oxide causing a change of colour from white to a faint yellow-ish colour and it turns back white after sometime resting off heat. (I watched an experiment like this on Nile Red (YouTube) , If my hypothesis is correct it should be a chemical change.
Equipment -
Sample of ZnO (Zinc Oxide)
Heat source - Hot plate
Scales
Heat proof container - Evaporating Dish
Tongs
Heat proof mat
