Project title:
Does a white candle burn faster then a colored candle?
Elementary school
None

Hypothesis:

I think that a colored candle will burn faster then a white candle.

Materials:

-a ruler
-a white candle
-a colored candle
-2 candle holders
-a lighter

The Procedure:

Step 1:I measured the white candle and then I write it down then I measure the colored candle and jot it down.
Step 2:I mark half of the candles to show how far i want the candles to burn.
Step 3:Then I light up the candles at the same time.
Step 4:Then I time how long it took for the candles to burn out.
Step 5:I turned the candles off.
Step 6:I Measured how far the candles burned.

Results:

I don't know what the results are to this project because I haven't done it yet.
