The Edible Candle What this Demonstration Shows
During this demonstration, a teacher makes an edible candle that looks like a real candle with a cheese stick or piece of potato. When the teacher lights the "candle"students need to explain what they think is happening. Most students will say a candle is burning, there is a fire, etc. Then the teacher eats the candle and the fake wick. Students are always surprised when this happens because they thought it was a real candle. This is a great way to show students the difference between inferences and observations. Attached is a sample of the demonstration |
