The Great Candle Experiment
How to suck water into a jar using a candle.
What you will need: 1. Saucer 2. Jar 3. Water 4. Candles (Any will be fine) 5. Lighter 6. Food Colouring
1. Secure the Candle the the saucer with the modeling clay or plasticine. The Candle should be about half as tall as the jar or bottle you are using
2. Pour water into the plate and add a few drops of food colouring if you want (it might make observations easier)
3. Light the Candle.
4. Cover the candle with an upside down jar or bottle and watch carefully.
5. When you are ready to start again, carefully tilt the jar or bottle to slowly empty it back into the plate. Aerate the jar again or bottle by filling it with water and emptying it again. This removes all the gases in the bottle and replaces it with fresh air.
6. Try experimenting with different candles, bottles and jars. Record what happens with each jot down your ideas on what you think is happening.
