An observation tools of Rayleigh-Benard Convection (RBC) has been developed. Observation set up made from glass box limited by two plates, i.e, bottom and top plates. The bottom plate is hotter than the top plate which has function to heat horizontal layers of fluid from below. The used media to observe fluid dynamics is water which mixed by sawdust of teakwood as representation of water particle motion. Raising of water layer tickness is distance between two plates (d) causes raising of the velocity of the water particle motion at the convection ilustrated by the bifurcation diagram. Raising of d also causes the convection radius change. Observed also pattern of flow from laminer to turbulen as result of d which ever greater.
