I don't know what grade you're in, so I don't know what sort of answer you're expecting. However, no one here is going to "give" you the answer.

Let me ask you a question that might help clarify your thoughts...

First, CAN a candle burn without any air? I think you know that the answer is no. So, what is it about air that allows the candle to burn?

Hey, bby the way I am in fifth. I think that a candle cannot turn on without air because it needs oxygen to turn on. Thanks for your help!

So, there you go! You just answered your own question by thinking about it.

The candle doesn't burn without air because it needs oxygen, and oxygen is a part of the air.

So, in the project I can put that air is divided into a lot of things. ONE OF THEM IS OXYGEN. SO IT NEEDS OXYGEN TO TURN ON. BUT DON'T YOU THINK IT IS KIND OF DUMB TO DO A PROJECT LIKE THAT FOR A FIFTH GRADER? I MEAN IT IS RIGHT? I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION, THE MOST IMPORTANT: WHAT IS AIR DIVIDED IN? LIKE WHAT ARE ALL THE THINGS IN IT? I ONLY KNOW SOME. PLEASE HELP.
