Candle in the Wind

Materials you will need: • A Lighter or Matches • Tea-Light Candle (Small) • Tall Round Container (Salt Container) This is amazing!

Steps:

1.  Place the candle just behind the round container.
2.  Light the candle.
3.  Blow against the round container from the front and at candlelight level.

What did you think would happen?  This works the same with liquids.  The fluid or air tends to flow (follow) the contour of the round container.  When the flow of air meets on the other side of the container, they join together to blow out the candle.
