Priestley lit a candle.
He then placed a glass jar over it…
…and watched as the flame gradually died out.
Priestley lit a candle.
He then placed a glass jar over it…
…and watched as the flame gradually died out.
Priestley reasoned that something in the air was necessary to keep the flame burning.
Priestley then placed
fresh mint leaves
underneath the jar
and allowed the
entire setup to sit for
a few days.
A few days passed…
After a few days,
Priestley found that
he could relight the
candle and it would
burn for a while.
After a few days,
Priestley found that
he could relight the
candle and it would
burn for a while.
Priestley concluded that the plant had produced the substance required for burning.
What substance was consumed as the candle burned the first time?
What must have been added to the jar to enable the candle to burn the second time?
Where did this oxygen come from?
What do you think would happen if Priestley had put the plant and candle back in the jar for a few days then once again tried to light the candle?
Suppose Priestley had put the plant and jar into a dark closet for a few days. Do you think the candle would have lit again?
What does this tell you about plants and oxygen?
In another experiment,
Priestley put a mouse
under the jar and
waited to see what
would happen.
We will find out later what happens
Seriously? I have
to wait
till later to get
out of the jar
In another experiment,
Priestley put a mouse
under the jar and waited to see what would happen.
Sadly, the mouse eventually died.
I waited for this?!
Later, Priestley put a mouse under the jar with fresh mint leaves and waited to see what would happen.
To his surprise, both the mouse and plant survived for quite some time.
Minty fresh breath
What important substance was produced by the plant?
