Burning candles


 * Aim**: To investigate the effect of different oxygen volumes on the burning of a candle.

Volume (cm3) vs Burning time (seconds)
 * Prediction**

Graphing oxygen use: Time taken vs volume of flask
 * Graph**

As we increased the (volume) of the flask, the candle burned for a (longer) time. If we double the volume of the flask it doubled the time.
 * Conclusion**
