Why does the seesaw tilt when a candle is lit on one side?

• The heat from the candle makes the seesaw heavier.

• The wax melts and shifts the weight.

• The flame pushes the seesaw down.

• The seesaw is scared of fire.

What is the main reason a candle seesaw experiment is used in science?

• To demonstrate the concept of balance and weight distribution.

• To show how candles can be used for decoration.

• To learn how to make candles.

• To see how long a candle can burn.

If you add a weight to the opposite side of a lit candle on a seesaw, what will likely happen?

• The seesaw will tilt more towards the candle.

• The seesaw will balance out.

• The seesaw will tilt away from the candle.

• The seesaw will catch fire.
