Description :

Have you ever blown out a candle? Of course you have! But have you ever wondered why the flame goes out when you blow on it? It’s not magic, it’s science! And the Science  Crew from Larissa , Greece wanted to find out more about it.

They set up an experiment to see how the air pressure affects the candle flame. First, they put a candle in a container and sealed it up tight with a lid. As the candle burned, it used up all the oxygen in the container, which made the air pressure drop lower than the pressure outside the container. It was like a vacuum in there! And you know what happens when there’s a vacuum, right? The lid got sucked down tight, putting out the flame in the process.

So, there you have it! Blowing out a candle is not just about making a wish, it’s about the power of air pressure and vacuums! Now, let’s all blow out a candle and see if we can create our own vacuums!
