Experiment
1 Fill a plastic cup up with water. About 300 ml.
2 Add 2 or 3 drops of food coloring to the water. This will make
the movement of the water easier to see later on in the
experiment.
3 Pour the water into the plate or pan and place the candle in
the middle of the water.
4 Light the candle.
5 Cover the candle with the cup. Carefully observe what
happens to the water around the cup. Repeat the experiment
several times until you can write down your observation.
Describe what happens and why it happens
