Best Answer

In order to discover whether white and colored candles burn at different rates, you would need the following:

  • Several sets of candles of identical size, shape, and manufacturer (more likely to have similar chemical composition), but of varying colors
  • An accurate timing device
  • A yardstick or ruler for measuring length
  • A chart or document to record initial lengths, measured lengths, and time of burning for each separate candle (or set of identical ones)

Procedure :

  • Candles are set up in a safe, fire-proof, ventilated area away from any combustible materials. When handling heated candles, insulated kitchen gloves should be worn.
  • Candles are separated into groups by size, the only obvious difference being their color. Multiple colors are used. By size, these could include common birthday candles, religious or votive candles, cooking candles, and emergency lighting candles.
  • A common point of measurement is established, as opposed to waiting for the candles to fully expend. For example, this could be half of the original length. Candles may be marked to make this easier to observe.
  • Each set is measured and burned separately (except for very long-burning candles), and the times noted for each. Ideally, you should use more than one of each type to avoid possible manufacturing defects that could skew the data.

The data is recorded and arranged in a table, possibly with visual charts showing the candles and the times. (Vertical bar charts, which resemble the candles, are effective illustrations.)

A summary of the data : which burned slower or faster in each group, whether this was consistent in all types of candles, and conclusions that might be drawn. Other data such as the percentage difference in burning rate, and how that varied by size, could also be included.

It depends... which color does burn fastest?

You could say something about colors=feelings like for examples:

green with envy

so angry or embarrassed you are red

other things like that
