Immersion

Immersion is brain pumping for me!!
This week on the 06/06/17 in Nicole's Immersion group we observed lite candles, and we had some practice sketching them and how they changed on a piece of paper we go. As each minute went by it was so interesting to see the changes in the candle, like the wax had changed a lot as it melted by the heat of the flame. It was funny at some times because it looked like the candle was doing some sort of dance. I think the air was making the candle wave.
Because we sketched them every 2-5 minutes or so, we also got to look at 2 nails the group put in cups of water. One was salt water and one was normal water. I went out to go see the nails I thought it was very fascinating that the nail in the salt water had rusted more than the one in the normal water.
At the end of the sketching Kothar and Nicole put a white plate over top of one of the candles and it was amazing. As the plate got closer to the flame a black sort of splodge called soot formed on the plate.
The group walked out of the science room and there were 4 glass cups and 4 tea light candles. We got 4 timers to time how long the flame would stay lit when we put the cup over them, the cups we all different sizes.
