Candel clock, math or science? read more?

Question

i have to do a math project and a science project for school. i found a cool experiment on the internet but i dont know if it would be used for math or science. when there were no clocks, people would measure time by the amount of a candel that was burnt after like 30 minutes then they would mark the candel to know 30 minute intervals. also they would stick a nail through like the thirty minute mark and when the wax melted around it then the nail would fall and they woul know 30 min. was up. so would that experiment be math or science?

Answer 1

both.
