How does it work?
Unfortunately, this section is only available in the e-book version of the project.
The baby powder floated upward in this simple science experiment. As the light bulb warmed up, it also warmed the air around it. Hot air always rises and the hot air around the bulb moved in an upward position, causing the cold air to take its place below the hot air. The movement of hot and cold air is what causes most winds.
