IGRE IN POIZKUSI ZA BOŽIČNE DNI

POIZKUSI IN  IGRE S SVEČO ZA BOŽIČNE POČITNICE -            

MOČ IZDIHA

Potrebuješ: Večjo svečo, olfa nož, zaščitno podlago

KAKO? Očisti okolico stenja, tako da je vrvica daljša. Vžgemo svečo in pihamo iz večje razdalje.

Pravila: Zmaga tisti, ki upihne svečo iz večje razdalje.

PRIŽIGANJE SVEČE NA RAZDALJO

Potrebuješ: Svečo in vžigalnik

KAKO? Prižgi svečo. Pusti jo nekaj časa goreti, nato jo upihni. S stenja se dviga dim. Če podržiš nad oblačkov vžigalnik, bo plamen skočil navzdol in ponovno prižgal svečo.

GASILNI APARATI

Potrebuješ : Ostanek sveče,  dva kozarca, soda bikarbona, kis.

KAKO? V en kozarec daj svečo in jo prižgi. V drugi kozarec daj sodo bikarbono in jo prelij s kisom.

KAJ SE ZGODI? Če kozarec s peno pridržiš nad svečo, ta ugasne, saj pri reakciji nastaja ogljikov dvokis, ki zaduši plamen. Na istem principu delujejo gasilni aparati.

 

SVEČA KOT URA

Potrebuješ: Višjo valjasto svečo, nož, uro

KAKO? Izmeri, koliko sveče ogori v 10 minutah. Prenesi mero po višini cele sveče. Pusti jo goreti nekaj časa in oceni čas.

RIŠEMO S KAPLJICAMI

Potrebuješ: Svečo, vzigalnik, risalni list, vodenke, čopič

KAKO?  Prižgi svečo, nagni jo nad rislni list in s nakapljaj sliko. Prepusti se domišliji. Za večji kontrast lahko nkapljane vzorce prebarvaš z živimi barvami.

 

RISANJE S SVEČO

Potrebuješ: Belo svečo, risalni list, vodenke ali tempera barvice

KAKO? Nariši s svečo praznični motiv. Prebarvaj z barvicami. Kjer so na risbi sledi sveče, se barva ne prime. Risbe so zato zelo skrivostne.

KORISTEN NASVET: NAMAŽIMO ZADRGO

KAKO? Vosek nam lahko pomaga odpraviti težave z zadrgo na jakni, hlačah, majici, ki se zatika pri zapenjanju. Zadrgo izboljšamo če jo po celi dolžini namažemo z voskom.
