Pour the colored water into the plate.
Set the candle straight up in the puddle in the center of the plate.
When the candle is stable, the water is calm, light the candle. The candle
flame needs to burn brightly.
Turn the glass over and lower it over the burning candle. Place the glass
on the plate in the water and let go but don’t take your eyes off of the
water level inside it. At first, the candle stays burning and the water level
rises slowly. About the time the candle goes out, the water rises quickly.
This is the mystery: why does it rise?
