Paraffin Wax Fire

The second of our paraffin wax experiments. We made big fire. 1. Heat the paraffin wax in a porcelain dish over fire until the melted wax catches fire. 2. Stand back and spray water steadily onto the fire. Make sure the wax is far from any type of flammable objects and people, the flame is big. Wear safety goggles and keep a fire extinguisher handy.
