1. Add enough water to fill the bottom of the plate.
2. Put 3 or 4 drops of your favorite color of food coloring into the water and mix it up.

4. Light the candle. Give some thought to what a fire requires to burn. Its called the fire triangle (oxygen, heat, fuel). If any one of these items are missing there will be no fire!
5. Take the glass and place it over the lit candle. Ask yourself what invisible gas is inside the glass. What happens to the water level inside the glass? What happens to the flame on the candle?
