Candle wax is an amazing substance and if it falls into the hands of evil doers
it can wreak havoc upon society. In this episode of scientific tuesdays, well demonstrate
why.

When the test tube is submerged in cold water, the glass forms tiny cracks. The Water enters gets into
the tube and vaporizes causing a micro explosion. The hot wax is then ejected from the tube quickly as oxygen is displaced from the tube itself.
