“So guess where we’re going over spring break?” "Where?" I asked my mom. "Where going to St. Louis to visit a wax Museum." When she informed me regarding this outing I was not excited. I loathe leaving town. There 's nothing to do, you 're perched on your butt, and in the long run it begins to get numb; you 're exhausted for a considerable length of time. Also I have five more youthful siblings and sisters. I would need to it in the car with them the entire whole outing and they 're boisterous. I don 't care for being in the car with them for ten minutes; I didn 't know how I was going to survive an entire trip. The day of the trip my mother woke every one of us up at six am, I was drained, I was trusting I would get the opportunity to rest…

This year’s science fair I will be creating a couple of makeup products. I will be making makeup wipes and lipstick made of crayons. Also I will be comparing how homemade makeup products work to store bought products. In doing so, there will be some research to be done about the history of makeup and how the ingredients for these products will work to do their job. Makeup has been part of human kind for thousands of years. Ancient Egyptians used copper and lead to make some of the world’s…

a new wax, one created by crystallizing sperm whale oil, became available. This new wax didn’t wasn’t malodorous, and generated a noticeably brighter light than other known waxes.The 19th century provided quite a bunch of important advancements for the candle industry. A modernized candle-making machine was invented by Joseph Morgan in 1834. This machine supplied an availability of unceasing manufacture-ment with the use of a piston to expel solid wax from cylindrical molds. In the 1850’s,…

Glow sticks are magical luminescent tubes that affect everyday lives in many positive ways! Now, of course they are not actually magical; glow sticks are the result of a chemical reaction. Believe it or not, they are an important key in many different aspects of everyday life. These sticks are sometimes relied upon for police use, military use, and fire department use. Police officers use them to guide traffic, deep sea divers use them to tell distance, and kids use them to have fun! Glow sticks…

You will also need a couple peg boards to put the beads on and make your design. An iron, wax paper and masking tape to help finish your design and mend it together. Also, you will need either a pencil or pen for later to puncture the masking tape. If desired for easier placement of the beads on the pegboard, you may want to use tweezers, but the tweezers are not required. The final tool you will need is a heavy book or two to place on top of your design as it cools so it does not warp. The…

Without the use of candles, many Pagan ceremony does not really feel complete. With some traditions, one candle is used to signify the God and an additional one used to signify the Goddess. In others, the candle is used to be a sign of the element of Fire. Candles are frequently a tool in sympathetic magick rituals, and can be used to represent individuals, thoughts, and emotions. A basic candle magick spell consist of choosing a candle centered upon color correspondences, then engraving it…

Ever wondered why a candle burns faster in the summer? Or does a candle burn at the same rate throughout the year? In this experiment, I am going to figure out if temperature affects a candle’s burn rate, and if so, how? I became interested in this project while I was looking at different science fair projects. When I saw this one, I thought that it looked like a cool project to do, because my mother burns many candles throughout the year, and I wanted to know if they ever burned faster at…

My hypothesis for the question is that dye will affect the speed of the wax burning as it is an impurity in the wax candle. I predict that the white candle will last the longest because it has no (or least) amount of dye in it which will help it burn slower. My prediction is based on the fact that white candles are most given in emergencies(such as when they light goes out) so they are meant to last long and they are made with pure ingredients that contain no dye. Background…

Modern technology has introduced greater efficiencies and quality control in candle making. Most candles are still made through the timeless process of placing a cotton wick into wax, which is then molded, dipped, extruded, pressed, rolled, drawn, or filled into a desired shape and size. Many of these timeless methods have been updated by using machines to do many of the repetitive tasks. The dipping method is still commonly used, but it has been adapted to entirely automated installations…
