The Hollow Candle

This experiment was sent in by Leilah, an 11 year old list member from Indiana. It is exactly the kind of experiment I like, because it is simple, it makes you think, and it’s interesting enough to get you to actually try it, instead of just saying, "Wow, I'll have to try that some time."

Forgetit. I missed a part of the experiment! :D haha!

how come the flame doesnt go out when it reaches the water? Or does it and the wick just stays hot and keeps melting the wax?

These are short, science oriented videos that don't fit neatly into other categories. Many are just for fun, as I learn more about the world of video.
