The " Tigers" were amazed by this fun science experiment.
You need: water, food coloring (optional), plate, container, candle
1. Add 2-3 drops of food coloring or paint to the water. This will make the movement of the water easier to see later.
2. Pour the colored water into the plate.
3. Set the candle straight up in the center of the plate.
4. Light the candle.
5. Turn the container over and lower it over the burning candle. At first, the candle stays burning and the water level rises slowly. About the time the candle goes out, the water rises quickly. This is the mystery: why does it rise?
Come on and try it at home!
The best part is that you'll likely want to repeat it several times.
