PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF OXYGEN

I. PROBLEM: What will happen to the candle with the absence of oxygen?
II. HYPOTHESIS: a. The candle will continue burning with the absence of oxygen.
b. The candle will stop burning with the absence of oxygen.
III. EXPERIMENTATION:
A. MATERIALS:
4 jars with different sizes timer
4 small candles of the same sizes ruler
match
B. PROCEDURE:
1. Light one of the candles.
2. Cover it with the smallest jar.
3. Using a timer, measure how many seconds it takes for the flame of the candle to be put
out.
4. Measure the length of the candle after it burns out.
5. Repeat the procedure using the next size of jar up to the largest jar.
6. Find out in which jar has the longest and shortest time of putting out the flame of the
candle.
7. Find out also the longest and shortest candle after burning.\
8. Record your findings.

IV. ANALYSIS OF DATA:

A. ILLUSTRATE/DRAW YOUR SET UP
