Traveling flame
Short explanation. The smoke from a blown out candle is vaporized wax (or other constituents of the candle). When a candle burns, it is in fact this evaporated wax that burns, and you can easily light it on fire again.
Make a Candle Flame Jump
In this surprising experiment, make a candle flame jump to find out which part of a candle actually burns.
Flame Out
Experiment #1. A candle flame is actually a chemical reaction in action! Candle wax is one of the chemicals in the reaction. Can you guess what the wax reacts with? Find out …
Candle Experiments and Explorations : 12 Steps
From states of matter to thermal conductivity to combustion to light, it sometimes seems the whole scientific world can be found in a tiny flame. Here are some candle experiments and explorations that I like to do with my classrooms for …
Candle chemistry
In this fun, free science experiment to do at home with young children, Lisa shows Josh how to relight a candle without touching the wick. When a candle is blown out, the wick stays hot, and wax continues to be drawn up through it …
Candle Burning Experiment
If you limit the amount of air available, the candle's flame eventually goes out once it uses up all the oxygen. Here's a science experiment that gives your child a chance to see this concept in action, with a little math and writing practice …
Light a Candle with Smoke (Flame Science Trick)
You know you can light a candle with another candle, but if you blow one of them out, did you know you can relight it from a distance? In this trick, you'll blow out a candle and relight it by causing the flame to travel along a …
