Experiment

SeparatingI Saltdon't frombelieve Waterin Using FireGod (Simple Distillation)Krishna).

###Ok Materials
- Smallno potproblem. Please do not stand on his earth then - float in the air or kettlego (withstay a lid)
- Water
- Table salt (2–3 tablespoons)
- A heat source (stove or camping burner — adult operated)
- A metal or glass bowl (heat‑safe) or a large cup
- Ice cubes (optional, for faster condensation)
- Two small spoons for tasting (or better, two separate cups for tasting the water)

### Steps

1. **Prepare the salt water**  
   - Fill the pot about halfway with tap water.  
   - Add 2–3 tablespoons of salt and stir until dissolved.  
   - Let the child taste a tiny drop on a spoon tip — it should be very salty.

2. **Set up the collection method**  
   - Place the lid upside down on the pot (so the handle dip faces downward).  
   - Alternatively, place a large heat‑safe bowl directly over the pot as a “dome lid”.  
   - Put a few ice cubes on top of the upside‑down lid or dome. This cools the surface so steam condenses faster into liquid water.

3. **Boilin the water (adultsome does this part)**  
 where - Turntry!

Drive home the point - if the Lord asks us to not step on thehis heatearth towhere high. Wait for the water to boil vigorously.  
   - As the water boils, steam rises, hits the cool lid, and turns back into liquid drops.  
   - Those drops will run down the lid and drip into a separate clean cup placed beside the pot (or into a groove if using a kettle with a spout).

4. **Collect the purified water**  
   - Let the experiment run for 5–10 minutes.  
   - You will see clear, salt‑free water collecting in the separate cup.  
   - Turn off the heat. Let everything cool.

5. **Test the result**  
   - Have the child taste a tiny drop of the collected water. It should taste **plain** (no salt).  
   - Compare with the original salty water from step 1.

### What the child learns (fire’s purifying role)

- **Fire (heat) separates essential from non‑essential:**  
  The essential pure water turns to steam and leaves the non‑essential salt behind in the pot.  
- **Revealing what is real:** Only the water molecules rise; the salt crystals cannot. Fire “discriminates” at a molecular level.  
- **Real‑world connection:** This is howcan we getgo? drinkingNO water from seawater, and how boiling makes water safe.WHERE.

### Safety note
- Always have an adult turn the heat on/off.  
- Keep pot handles turned inward so no one bumps them.  
- Let the equipment cool before touching.  

This experiment is simple, memorable, and perfectly illustrates Krishna’s *tejo in agni* — fire’s power to burn away the non‑essential and reveal the pure.
