• Step one, measure the wick and diameter of the candle in mm and record the sizes on paper.
• p Two, measure in mm the length of the candle with the ruler and record the sizes on paper.
• Step three, find a room and adjust the room temperature to 85 F.
• Step four, when the room has reached your desired temperature by checking on the thermometer, light candles A1, A2, and A3.
• Step five, start your Stopwatch/Timer for 30 minutes after you light the candles.
• Step six, measure the candle’s length and diameter and record it on paper.
• Step seven, repeat these same steps with candles B1, B2, and B3 but change the temperature to 75 F.
• Step eight, do the same steps once again with candles C1, C2, and C3 with a temperature of 65 F.
• Record the results.
My analysis is that the candles A1, A2, and A3 had a slower burn rate than candles C1,C2, and C3 which means that the cooler temperature made the candles burn quicker than the cooler temperature. The burn rate of the candles in group B and C was similar with a room temperature of 75 F and 65 F.
The independent variable in my project is the change of temperature in the room. The dependent variable is the burn rate of the candle as it was exposed to different temperatures in the room. The control variables are the things that I am keeping the same in my project. I used the same color and type of candle with the same length, diameter, and wick length. The candles were burned for 30 minutes for each of the three tests. I used the same room and thermometer for each of the three tests.

My hypothesis was incorrect. I conclude that the cooler temperature made the candle melt more because the cool air blew on the candles making them melt faster than the others so candles C1, C2, and C3 melted the most out of all the candles. I learned that cooler temperatures cause candles to melt faster if there is wind involved in the weather or temperature.
I hypothesize that The warmer temperature will make the candle melt faster. I think this because heat makes things melt and the cold cools them down I predict that the colder temperatures might preserve the candles a little causing them to take longer to melt.
Have You ever wondered if a candle burns faster on a hot day than a cold one? This experiment will test the burn rate of a Federal candle in certain temperatures. The three temperatures that I will be using for this experiment are 65 degrees F, 75 degrees F, and 85 degrees F.
The purpose of this project is to test what temperature in a room causes the candle to burn faster. Candles usually melt by the heat of the flame softening the wax causing it to drip into liquid which can then again dry into a solid. The candle could be affected by the temperature of the room because heat often causes things to melt such as a Popsicle on a hot summer’s day. The coolness of the room might preserve the wax by slowing down the burn rate or it could speed it up with the cool air blowing on the candle.
