RESULT: The result of our experiment, it will not work the pencil
graphite because of the battery that we use. But when we add the candle in
the jar and the pencil graphite is also inside. The fire of the candle it
prolonged for 3 seconds.
RESULT TABLE:
CONCLUSION: We conclude that the pencil graphite will not work because
of the battery that we use. There are many times that we use the battery. The pencil
graphite had smoke enclosed in the jar. Therefore, when the pencil graphite and
candle are combined, it is prolonged and adds 3 seconds to the time that we try the
candle only in the jar.
