Candle Experiment Lab Report

To begin, we put 200mL of water with one drop of green food coloring into a pie tin. We then mounted the short candle into the clay in the center of the pie tin. After, we lit the candle, waited approximately five seconds and bottled the candle. Lastly, we waited for the flame to go out and measured how high the water rose in the bottle. This process was repeated for the medium and tall candle as well. Data Table: Height of Candle

Conclusions: Before conducting the experiment, we hypothesized that if the candle height increased, then the height of the water will increase. However, no change occurred when the candle height was altered. Each time the experiment was conducted the
