EXPERIMENT 3
Take a cardboard or wooden box with a
glass front. Fit two wide glass tubes in
holes at the top to form chimneys. Put
a small lighted candle below one of the
chimneys. Hold a smouldering piece of
paper at the top of the other chimney
(Fig. 3.3). See what happens. The air above
the candle gets heated and becomes
lighter. It rises up. The smoke from the
smouldering paper rushes into the box to
take the place of the warm air. Thus, air
currents are set up.
