a candle, a jar, and some air


The boys learned a little bit about how air moves even though we can't see it moving. We placed a box in front of the candle and tried to blow it out, but the air couldn't get to it. When we put a round jar in front, the air went around the jar and the candle was blown out. The oldest understood that the air wasn't going through the glass, but moving around it.
We also put the candle out by putting the jar over it.
We are currently half way through reading Charlotte's Web and will rent the movie when we are done.
