Candle Experiment

                                                            Candle Experiment 

In science today we placed a candle in petri dish with water in it and lit the candle on fire we then placed a cup over top of the candle to lock out the oxygen. 

Aim - To see what happens to the water level when the candle is covered.

Hypothesis - I think the candles flame with go out because the oxygen has been locked out.

Results - The candle went out and the cup sucked up to the petri dish, so if you lifted the cup the petri dish would be stuck to the bottom.

Conclusion - The water rose because it was heating up. The flame was using all the oxygen and eventually it was all gone and the cup stuck to the petri dish.
