The Great Weather Unit...Part 4

Watching Warm Air

Materials:
string
construction paper
pencil
scissors
candle
matches or lighter
adult supervision

Process: 

1. Draw a spiral on the construction paper and cut it  out so you have a snake like piece of paper. punch a hole in the center end of the paper and attach a short string. (see photo below).

2. Light the candle.

3. Observe the paper dangling in regular room air.

4. Observe the paper dangling above the candle. ( maybe obvious but just in case... don't catch the paper on fire.)


5. Write down your observations.
