From the websites in my own words. That colored candle have more chemicals than, white plain candles. Theres a lot more background info. then this, theres a lot for this experiment. Theres the wick has a big deal to in this, because if theres a good wick on one candle its going to burn faster. Than if theres a bad wick on the other one it will take longer to burn, so you have to get the same kind of wicks. Then theres the size if one candle is big and one is small the smaller one will burn way faster, so you will need to get the same size candle. Also about the size is the shape too. Another is the scent of the candle, the scent will make a bigger difference too, because if the scents are different that won't help the burning. This, because some the scented candles will have a lot more chemicals especially if the candle is already colored it will take even longer to burn. With so many chemicals. http://www.all-science-fair-projects.com/project274_38.html http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Do_white_candles_burn_faster_then_colored_candles <span style="color: rgb(30, 0, 0)"><span style="color: rgb(15, 0, 0)"><span style="color: rgb(8, 8, 8)"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)"><span style="color: rgb(1, 239, 234)">    http://poster.4teachers.org/view/poster.php?poster_id=249112 <span style="color: rgb(30, 0, 0)"><span style="color: rgb(15, 0, 0)"><span style="color: rgb(8, 8, 8)"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)"><span style="color: rgb(1, 239, 234)"> <span style="color: rgb(15, 0, 0)"><span style="color: rgb(251, 153, 9)">**<span style="color: rgb(5, 0, 0)">Hypothesis: ** <span style="color: rgb(5, 0, 0)">My hypothesis is that if I burned 1 of any of these colored candles purple, yellow, orange, blue, red, green and then burned 1 a white candle the same size and at the same time right next to each other.

<span style="color: rgb(15, 0, 0)"><span style="color: rgb(208, 11, 115)"> **Data/Results: 30 min.** 1.This 30 min. of burning time for the orange and white tea light candles, was intense. They both are about half way burned already or like 4/8 or 8/16 inch, but from the half burning all the liquid form it is still there. These are only 0.52 oz. each candle(wax weight) though and about 3/4 or 12/16 of an inch high. So right now I don't know yet how my hypothesis is going to turn out, it could go any way! 2.After 25 min. more added of burning with a total of 55 min. the candles are more than half way burned. In an half hour they should be done burning. Each candle are about, and quarter inch left or a little tiny bit less than that. The canles are 3/8 or 6/16 of an inch. The white candle is burning just a little bit faster now. 3.I added 20 min. The measure is 2/8 or 4/16 inch. both are the same again. I think by rihgt now it doen't matter by color of the candles. 4.For this timing I added another 15 min. 3/16 of an inch. Its not going much done just little by little, but now I check more often. So its more close to being burned there at the same spot again still. 5. For only burning 10 min. longer not much happened it only went to 1/8 or 2/16 inch. and this should be done soon at least I hope. 6.Only with 5 min. more, it stayed the same**. 110 min.(1 hour and 50 min.)** 7.It finally went down to 1/16 and this candle should be burned out soon. Well by just now I can tell that my hypothesis is wrong becasue they are the same height. 8.It kept the same 1/16 inch but you can see it went down a little bit and should be burned soon. 9. Finally its done, but my hypothesis is wrong its not by the colored candle. Its about the wick mostly. It was tie. min. || 120 min. || Yes,no,tie || 4/8 inch. || more than half way 3/8 || almost done 2/8 inch || geting closer to burned 3/16 inch. || burning by little 1/8 inch. || same 1/8 inch. || went down 1/16 inch. || same 1/16 inch. || done || no(tie) || 4/8 inch. || more than half way 3/8 || almost done 2/8 || geting closer to burned 3/16 each || burning by little 1/8 inch. || same 1/8 inch. || went down 1/16 inch. || same 1/16 inch. || done || no(tie) || My hypothesis was that the white candle would burn faster than the orange candle. My hypothesis was wrong, because the white and orange candles burned by the same time. This showed me that it doesn't matter by the color or scent. Just by how good the wick is and the size it takes to burn. These candles each took 2 hours to burn!
