For those of you who further wanted to understand our experiment and or try it for yourself, here is our detailed lab report, unfortunately no bear-lion-minotaur-naked mole rat-creatures were acutally involved, but thats rather irrelevant. Anyway, here is the report.
Lab Design Sheet Ryan and Luke
Name of Experiment: Paper Burnin’ on the Dance Floor
Question to be answered:
What type of paper will burn the longest?
Prior Knowledge: Magazines have tons of chemicals and dyes in them, whereas Art Paper (if Specified) is acid free.
Hypothesis:Prediction: If we burn different types of paper, then the art paper will burn the longest...
Hypothesis:Rationale: ...Because it has the least chemicals and it is the least refined.
Independent: Type of Paper
Dependent: Time it takes for the paper to burn
Constants: Time Exposed to Flame, weather conditions, location of paper
Equipment: Magazine, News, Art, Lined, and copy paper. A timer.
Procedure:
1. Collect the papers listed above.
2. Cut pieces of paper into pieces of 4” x 3”
2. Cut pieces of paper into pieces of 4” x 3”
3. Build paper holding apparatus as show
4. Locate matches or Lighter
5. Place paper in dish.
6. Expose paper to flame for 3 seconds.
7. Time amount of time paper takes to burn completely.
8. Record results.
9. Repeat 4 - 7 with all other papers.

ANALYSIS:
CONCLUSION: Our hypothesis was correct. We think this is because the art paper was the least refined and contained the least amount of chemicals.
