This experiment not only explains how your body uses oxygen, but it is also an experiment in air pressure circles – bonus!  You will be putting a dime in a tart pan that has a bit of water in it. Then you will put a lit candle next to the dime and put a glass over the candle with the glass’s edge on the dime. Once all of the air inside the glass is used up by the candle, the dime will be easy to pick up without even getting your fingers wet! Ready to give it a try?
