A simple experiment: light a candle, cover it with glass and time how long it lasts.
Now, uncover, place a plant next to the candle, relight the candle, cover with glass, and time the life of the flame.
Which one lasted longer?
Why?
The children had lots of fun with this. They decided to try doubling the number of candles, too.
