Fire Science

This morning at school (4 May) the boys become pyromaniacs while the girls where learning self defence. We where doing a science experiment about if we light two ends of a candle and supported it between two cups it would rock like a seesaw which all sounded good in practice but sadly our experiment failed because the candle didn't act like a seesaw. ;(
But we watch a video of someone who knows how to do it properly and it worked for them. We discovered that the problem was that we put the wire through the cups rather then on them!
