This area of study examines the concepts associated with energy and its use by human societies. It begins to explore the idea of __#|energy efficiency__. It also investigates the relationship between energy use and the enhanced greenhouse effect.

 * **Sac Preparation** - Read the design of the experiment on page 7, and note three main concepts that this experiment demonstrates. List any key terms that are relevant for you to use in your discussion. Consider ways that you might improve the procedure & note these.
 * Candles are useful for illustrating the complicated physical and chemical processes that take place during combustion. The candle flame surface itself is the place where fuel (__#|wax__ vapour) and oxygen mix and burn at high temperatures, radiating heat and light. Heat from the flame is conducted down the wick and melts the wax at the wick base. The liquid rises up the wick because of capillary action. As the liquid nears the flame, the flame’s heat causes it to vaporize. The vapours are drawn into the flame where they ignite. The heat produced melts more wax, and so on.
 * Your SAC is a writen report. Ensure that you are able to satisfy these requirements.
 * This report is worth 20 marks.
