Okay, so in my previous post, I had come up with my final idea, which was to measure the burning rate of different type of wax candles.
Well, from research and talking to my teacher, I realised that this experiment would be a lot harder than I thought. I have to consider some very small details, which in the larger picture makes a big difference to the result of the experiment. For example, I have to make sure that the wick material is the same within each candle. Now that is pretty hard, considering that I'm not planning on making my own candles, and the candles found in shops don't usually mention the material that the wick is made from... So I guess I have to move onto a different idea...
Luckily enough, I do have some other ideas that I thought of recently, which include the thickness of liquids, or saturation point, which is how much of a certain material I can possibly dissolve into a liquid.
I'm still thinking about how I might conduct these experiments, in terms of materials and all that, but once I have a clearer image of how I'll do things, I'll continue to post my thoughts and process.
