An Illuminating First Day Demo—The Edible “Candle” (126KB PDF download)

Imagine people’s reaction if you were offered a piece of birthday cake and you said, “No thanks, I’ll just eat the candles!” Since we begin the school year with a focus on process skills and the scientific method, the “Edible Candle” is a great demonstration for the first week of class. The demonstration focuses on careful observation and features a discrepant event to get students’ attention, disrupt their usual ways of thinking, and provoke thought.
