Which color of candle burns the fastest? I thought the yellow candle would burn the fastest, because it is the lightest color. The pink candle burned the fastest.
The student asked a clear question about which candle color burns the fastest and the slowest and tested it carefully using multiple candles, measuring their height and weight before and after burning for the same amount of time. The well-organized data table, graphs, and calculated averages show careful work and close attention to how each candle changed. This is a strong and creative project that demonstrates solid scientific skills.
Great job! Exceptionally detailed data table and journaling which is far more rigorous measurement than typical Grade 5 studies.
