So what email provider do you use? I use AIM.

I regret not being the only man on Earth.

SFN Integral pretty cool.

Even though they were morally wrong, were the confederate solder's any less American? I think you can celebrate their service without celebrating their cause.

 

Plus it is somewhat unfair to imply that Confederate solders were on the wrong side of the fight, or fighting for slavery. Sure it was pro-slavery state governments that seceded from the union, but many of the 'boys in gray' were fighting against the North because the North invaded the South.

 

Just an interesting tidbit, to inform the reader, when Abraham Lincoln made the Emancipation Proclamation, he only freed the slaves south of the Mason Dixon line. This was to an appeal to the border states that were still sided with the union, but in reality had huge slave based economies. This was to make sure they didn't secede as well.

In addition, they were in shock by John Brown's raid. They were afraid "other John Browns" would attack them.

Thanks all. The variable I came up with is size/shape. I chose it so that I can test whether different shapes/size will help it burn faster or make it slower.

BTW. I'm going to go buy some candles now. So far I bought those small circular thinnish candles. Bought white, blue, and red of those. Then today, I'm going to buy those big squarish candles, same color. Then I'm buying normal candles.

Is that good? Then I'm going to light them on a candle holding cup. Measure the changed mass every 30 minutes or 1 hour while subtracting the cup mass. I'm going to graph those until the candles are all melted. Then I'm going to paste it on my display board.

Is that good?

Erm. I guess that could work. How should I measure the candle diameter or width though? Sorry, I'm not really smart when it comes to doing these stuff.

I need 3 manipulated variables for my science fair project question. So the question is:

Do white candles burn at a different rate than colored candles?

So far, I've written down 2 variables.. Time passed and color of candle. I need another.
