 * WHAT TYPES OF CANDLES ARE MOST WIND RESISTANT **

**ABSTRACT** The purpose of this study was to find out which types of candles are most wind resistant. The way that fire burns is because fire uses oxygen as fuel and as food because it feeds on itself. The method was that using a fan to see if different candles would go out faster with the same wind speed. The big/chunky candles lasted longer than any of the other ones. The results came out that way scientifically because when the big/chunky candles are bought they have a solid wall of wax around them.

 **EXPERIMENTAL** ** IMPROVEMENTS AND FUTURE EXPERIMENTS ** An improvement for the experiment could be to see if the humidity of the air affected the rate of the candle burning. Another improvement would be that a more high powered fan could affect the results A future experiment that could be conducted could be the 3 most popular candle brands and see which is the most wind resistant.
