Observations

Yesterday our class learned about observations. To do this, we lit a tea light candle and we made some observations about it. We also learned about what is not a observation, for example, "smelly" is not an observation. Observations are more detailed than that. Here are some of my observations. 

1.  The wick starts to sink after around 10 seconds,
2.  The bottom of the wick is turning black, 
3.   There is a circle of wax forming around the wick, 
4. The tip of the wick changes from a red glow to a gold glow every 5 or so seconds,
5.  Most of the wax is liquidised, it is now transparent,
6.  It doesn't have a distinct smell at the moment, 
7. The wax at the bottom is slowly setting, it is becoming more and more opaque,
8.  The wick is white at the bottom, 
9.  I can see a light blue tint on the bottom of the flame,
10. The wax pool is getting wider and wider, 
11. The shape of the wick is changing from a small triangle, to a larger teardrop, 
12. The wick is starting to sink now after around 2 minutes,
13. The wick is starting to form wax, 
14. There is a small scent of ash and smoke, it's not very strong,. It's pretty hard to really smell,
15. The size of the candle is getting smaller and smaller,
16. The smell is getting a bit stronger, but it is more of ashy smell now.
