Hello beautiful people! I hope you enjoy tiny science and lego minifig burning up!

Lego Science Episode 1 – Legoman stands on burning pencil – Make Science Fun.

In this episode, a ‘lead’ pencil is connected between the terminals of a 12 volt car battery.

The ‘lead’ is actually graphite, an allotrope of carbon which is electrically conductive.

The electricity flowing through the graphite produces a lot of heat due to the resistance of the graphite.

This heat causes the wooded pencil casing to heat up, smolder, smoke and occasionally burst into flames.
