From these experiments, when comparing the results, I saw a pattern that the White and Green coloured candle were always the ones being last to be burnt. I also noticed that the Red candle managed to always be close to being the one being burnt out first. Therefore, my hypothesis was proven correct! I predicted that the Red candle would burn the fastest (which was proved in Experiment #2) and the White candle would be the most long-lasting (which was proved in Experiment #1). I have learnt that darker colours absorb light, along with heat and lighter colours reflect heat and light. Therefore, when looking for a long-lasting candle to purchase, find lighter colours instead of darker colours, as from my observations and testing, these types of candles lasted the longest.
