Editing Candy Conflagration (section)

== Demonstration ==

# Using the scoopula, scoop some of the salt into the test tube. fill the test tube no more than a quarter inch with the salt; too much salt and the demonstration won't work as well. Aim the test tube perpendicular to the audience. If you aren't at least 10 feet away from the audience, a blast shield is required.
# Place some of the candy onto the scoopula, making sure that it is in small enough pieces to fit into the test tube. Set nearby.
# Ask the audience to name the three things needed for a fire. After you get the answers, explain the purpose of the blowtorch (Heat), candy (Fuel) and salt (Oxygen).
# Put on the goggles and heat gloves, and start heating the salt with the blowtorch. As you heat the salt, be sure to move the flame of the blowtorch around. If you keep it on one spot for too long, it may melt the glass!
# When you see that most of the salt is melted, ask the students for a countdown starting at 5. As they countdown, pick up the scoopula, and when they reach one pour the candy into the test tube.
#* If the reaction does not start immediately, continue to heat the test tube until it starts.
# After it finishes, let the test tube cool for a few minutes, then remove it while still wearing the hot gloves. It can be thrown away.
