COOL SCIENCE THAT WILL AWE KIDS

Solid wax is in some way changed into warmth and light. But how? Go back and forth back in time to December 28, 1848 in London, England to probably the most famous juvenile science Christmas lectures at the Royal Institution. British scientist Michael Faraday (1791-1867) encouraged kids to carefully observe a candle and to take a look at to figure out how it burned. 

Known as one of the crucial best science experimenters ever, Faraday’s passion used to be all the time to reply to the basic questions of science: “What’s the cause? Why does it occur?”

Since Faraday’s lecture, “The Chemical History of a Candle,” used to be published in 1861, it’s never been out of print. Oddly, till now, it’s never been published as a children’s picture book. Faraday originally gave seven lectures on how a candle burns. Pattison has adapted the first 6000-word lecture to about 650 words for modern elementary students.
