Oxygen, Yes

A few weeks ago, we looked at a classic experiment of putting a lit candle under a glass. We saw that water was drawn into the glass, not by the oxygen being burned up, but by the cooling of the air in the glass after the candle went out. This experiment will allow us to do what many people thought the first experiment was doing, measure the amount of oxygen in the air.
