Aim, Hypothesis, Variables

Aim: To determine and find out which colour candle burns the fastest

Hypothesis: I predict that the white colour candle would burn the slowest because it reflects heat and light as discovered in my research. I guess that the red colour candle would burn the fastest because it seemed to be a darker colour compared to the rest.



Dependent Variable:
  • Height of candle (using a ruler)
  • The time for every 3 minutes and how long it takes the candle to completely burn out (using a stopwatch).
Independent Variable:
  • Colour of the candle
Controlled Variable:
  • Length of the candle in the beginning
  • Starting time of the candles
  • Brand of candles -
  • Composition of candles
  • Location during the experiment.
