Equipment, Safety Precautions & Method





Equipment:
  • 6 different coloured candles (White, Red, Pink, Yellow, Blue, Green)
  • Stopwatch to measure the time
  • Ruler to measure the candles
  • Something to hold the candles up (I used a Sponge)
  • Lighter or Matches
  • Notepad to record results and observations down
  • Video Camera and Camera to capture to experiment for visual aid



    Safety Precautions

    • Keep long hair tied back incase of getting it caught on fire
    • Do not touch the flame
    • Never leave candles unattended

    • Keep candles away from flammable materials




      Method

      1. Align the candles.

      2. Start the stopwatch as the candles are lit with the match/lighter.

      3. Record the measurement of the candle using a ruler every 3 minutes

      4. Keep an eye on the candles

      5. Jot down any observations on a notepad, take photos and videos

      6. Record results (record the time when the candles are completely gone)

      7. Repeat this experiment one more time for consistency of results and reliability.
