When a jar is placed over a lit candle i predict that the candle will go out or will struggle very much. For example if you where using a beaker with a lip then some air will be able to get in but the candle will struggle a lot. But if you put a glass cup with no lips or anywhere for air to get in the candle will go out because in the triangle of fire you need oxygen fuel and Heat and you are taking out the oxygen.
The average burning time for the candle under the jar was 26 seconds. Observations were made : Top of the beaker became hot, The flame became smaller the longer it was under the beaker, After many trails the side of the beaker became warm, When the flame went out a thin column of smoke rose directly up, The flame changed colour to blue at the bottom when the flame was going out, If you put two candles under the beaker each candle had half the air in the beaker. The average burning time for the candle under the jar, when a person exhaled into the jar was 11 seconds. The second candle (exhaled air) went out in 11 seconds compared to 26 seconds. Clearly, exhaled air contains something that extinguishes a flame. The site near the basketball in a tree had the most particular matter. This is kind of what i expected because it is near a dirt road next to it and it is in a place where people go and make dust. The air quality was different in each location because there were for example different types of roads and more coverage from trees. Each of my data samples where about the same in the range of 360 and 300. This tells me that the data samples on the north East side got more air particals than the others.
