Candle Burn Rate Essay
This experiment was conducted to see witch candle would burn faster.
How to test the variable is to burn a scented and unscented candle at the same time and see witch candle burned the quickest. There wasn’t any flaws in this experiment. When changing this experiment use different brands, scents or waxes and see which one would burns faster. The results were the unscented candle burned faster but they both burned at the same speed rate so it doesn’t really matter too much. Other brands could change the effect of the burn rate than other brands that are out there and they may also be made differently. There are more than one wax and that might change the burn rate of the candles. Some waxes may last longer than others. One thing that can be change the candle scents and see if that has any effect on the burning rate of the candle. There were no flaws in this experiment but if there were they would be the simplest things like, not pushing the timer, setting the timer wrong, and not doing it correctly.

quicker is false .All candles burn at the same speed rate. Some key words not everyone understands are cap·il·lar·y: It is a tube that had an internal diameter, hair like thickness and a lot like the wick. Wick: A bundle of loose soft threads woven together typically made out of cotton and used in candles lamps or oil stoves. va·por·ize: A substance diffused in the air that normally happens to liquid or solids so the wax vaporizes when it reaches the wick and go’s into the air witch spreads and makes the area smell good. Wax: It’s also called beeswax, it’s full of fats and oils made by bees, and it’s a plastic substance when warmed and melted. The candles used in this experiment are made with 100 percent cotton wicks and burn at the same speed. Mainstay candles are the same throughout and highly fragranced and will provide exceptional vibrant color. Candles are burned in a very unique way. See when the wick of a candle is lit, the heat from the flame will melt the wax surrounding the wick. The melted wax will be absorbed by the wick and the capillary action will pull the wax upwards. When the wax approaches the flame, it will start to vaporize and the vaporized wax will start to burn. The wick itself will not burn. They are normally made from paraffin wax with a wick in the middle. Candles can also be made from soy wax or other plant wax, animal fat or bee wax. Wax acts as a fuel to keep the candle burning. The wick has to be an absorbent twine with strong capillary ability. Candle manufacturers produce both scented and unscented candles. Common scents used in candles include kitchen aromas such as vanilla, fruit scents, flower scents, spa scents like green tea and ocean breeze. Candles are also found in a variety of colors, shapes and sizes. Candles are a convenient way of providing light and heat when no electricity is available. Scented candles can claim allergies and others claiming sinus problems and even migraines. These candles can even be used to keep the house smelling good or even used for light when it’s dark.
For instants candles make a warm and cozy atmosphere especially when reading a book. Also it’s a wonderful way to make life a bit happier during cold winter months. Candles are also an amazing way to create light. It’s a way of providing light and heat when there is no electricity available, and important when there are black outs or no electricity and this way there will always be light and a little bit of heat. It’s important so we can see when in a black out or when we have no electricity to use. It’s nice to know witch candle will last longer when we are in these certain situations that need light. Also candles are a traditional thing in some
families.
Latin families and also catholic people always use candles and they might would like to know if they can buy candles that last a lot longer than the ones they use now.

The hypothesis is that the unscented candle will burn faster than the scented candle. This research will attempt to find out which candle burns faster. Also if there is a scent or brand that will last longer than others.
