Lockdown Day 14.

Today, we learned about what fire needs to keep burning: fuel and oxygen.
We lit a candle in a dish of water and covered the candle with a glass. The flame extinguished as the oxygen was depleted. At the same time, water was drawn into the glass to fill the space the air had left.

Fascinating stuff for our big boy and we extended the experiment further to test it with multiple candles (the flames extinguished faster and drew even more water into the glass).

It was a bit of a bummer to realise that locations of interest visited by covid positive people now include an Asian grocery store we frequent (not recently). We will likely see more local locations of interest pop up in the next few days. Just as we were feeling confident enough to start exercising around our neighbourhood, this happens. 

God bless us all.
