NARRATIVE
            This demonstrates that warm air rises and cooler air falls. Light the candle and close the cover of the convection device after a few seconds. Ignite a piece of touch paper and hold it at the mouth of the chimney without the candle under it. Smoke will be drawn down this pipe and expelled from the other.
