CO2 Fire Extinguisher




Teresa‚ VT | Carbon Dioxide Fire Extinguisher
The bottom candle went out first!


Christina‚ CA | Carbon Dioxide Fire Extinguisher
The results of my expiriment was that the shorter candle went out first. This happened‚ because the C02 touched the shorter one first to make it go out. When the Carbon Dioxide fills the air‚ it suffocates the air and makes the candle go out. In order for a candle to burn‚ it must have air‚ so that is why the shortest one went out.

The shorter one went out first.


angelo‚ NC | Carbon Dioxide Fire Extinguisher
the short candle because the gas was closer to the shorter one and the big one took forever to blow out


Vincent, PA | Carbon Dioxide Fire Extinguisher
The shorter candle went out first. We had to add more vinegar to make the taller candle go out. It was fun.


Sarah, PA | Carbon Dioxide Fire Extinguisher
It took about 3 hours but the shorter one burned faster the long one! It was a fun experiment!!!!


Anthony, TX | Carbon Dioxide Fire Extinguisher
I thit it was cool the cloud in the bottle i thit it was going to blow up.


Billy, AL | CO2 Fire Extinguisher
It was unusual because usually, the short one burned out faster. Looks like its my lucky day!


sarah, AZ | CO2 Fire Extinguisher
The smaller one went out but the bigger one did not. I think it did becuase the taller one did not get its air sucked out.

Chris, GA | CO2 Fire Extinguisher
On a science experiment, I lit two candles and put a jar on each one. The candle in the smaller jar went out 2 seconds after I put it on. The one in the taller jar went out 5 seconds later.
