For science we are able to choose what experiments we could be able to do. I chose to do a cool experiment that includes heat and water. The experiment is called a underwater candle experiment. I saw this experiment before and I thought it was cool so I decided to choose this as my chosen experiment.
Materials
Candle
Glass Cup
Lighter
Plate with higher rim
Water
Hypothesis: I think that the water rises because of the heat and pressure that the candle creates, when the candle burns out I think the pressure is released as it gets colder and the water rises because of the loss of pressure.
Method:
Put water inside the plate just before hitting above the rim.
Place a candle in the center of the water filled plate.
Light the candle
Place the cup around the candle
Wait for the candle to burn out and watch what happens
Here is a video of the experiment
