Science Experiment


First things first. I decided to change things up a bit. Second thing is today is my friend's birthday, her name is Aylissa, so that picture is dedicated to her. I'm here!! Today I have to my first trial of my science experiment. I am seeing which candle lasts longer. A scented or a non-scented. My hypothesis is scented (Yes, most people think non-scented but I wanted to be different and take a chance). My testable question is: Do scented candles last longer than non-scented candles? I have to watch them burn for like 3 hours, but they are tea lights so they won't last for a very long time. I'm starting in about a half an hour. I'm not getting into real details like I did for my steps when you had to write them down at school, but I will give you the basics.
Step 1- Put the candles in the same environment, a little bit away from each other.
Step 2- Have someone light the candles at the EXACT same time, while you start the stopwatch.
Step 3- Once one candle has gone out, mark down the time but DO NOT stop the stopwatch.
Step 4- After the second candle has gone out, stop the stopwatch and mark the time.
Step 5- Make sure you put which candle lasted longer.
Step 6- You're finished!
So that is pretty much what I will be doing. Oh and one last thing. HAPPY SPRING!!! It's finally here! Ahh, hardly no more cold weather! Happy weekend everyone! Thanks for reading!

Happy Birthday Aylissa,

ahaha. it is for school. and we didnt get much background search. i just thought that scented would last longer, because on all the ads it said that the scented candles are the best because the scent lasts forever.
