Recipe
IMPORTANT: You will need one sober adult with a sense of scientific wonder...
What you need to get started is: 150ml of water, food colouring, a plate, a tea light/candle, a large glass and a lighter.
1. Pour some food colouring into a glass of water and stir
2. Place a tea light on to the centre of your plate
3. Pour the coloured water on to your plate surrounding the tea light
4. Now get an adult to ignite the tea light
5. Cover your tea light with a glass
6. Now watch the water rise up inside your glass as the water is sucked in.
Live Experiments: Our resident science demo thrill-seekers will give the YouTube audience their big science treat each week with an experiment where you can find out how to make food dance, power a light bulb with household objects and create mega smoke rings!
