Candle in Jar Science Experiment for Kids - How Fire Consumes Oxygen #100332 (License: Personal Use)

In this educational illustration, two students watch a lit candle placed inside a shallow dish of water, covered by an inverted glass jar. As the candle burns, it consumes oxygen, causing the flame to dim and eventually extinguish, while water rises into the jar due to reduced air pressure. This visual demonstrates fundamental principles of combustion, atmospheric pressure, and gas behavior in an accessible way for young learners.

Used in elementary science curricula, STEM activity guides, and educational websites to explain combustion and air composition; targets teachers, parents, and students seeking hands-on experiments with everyday materials.
