Candle Carousel Experiment and STEM Project

In this experiment, we are building a Candle Carousel using simple materials. This project is a great way to explore the science of aerodynamics, thermodynamics and physics as we learn how candles can make a paper rotor spin around, just like the carousel at the amusement park. For more details and to grab the free printable templates for the rotor blade designs visit: https://www.steampoweredfamily.com/candle-carousel-experiment/ NOTE: As we are working with fire and candles, this experiment is best done either as a demonstration project, or with close adult supervision of students at all times. Always practice fire safety and have an extinguisher and water near by in case of an accident.
