I have that same recorder and it will record for a very long time (depending on settings, but still plenty for your experiment). You’ll need to decide if you want to record as Mp3 or as a .wav file (.wav will use more memory space) so at you’ll need at least a 16GB card. You are best to power the H4n with the A/C power adapter to assure constant power. But if you use Alkaline batteries set the device on Stamina mode.
The link below has a chart for memory card capacity and approved cards (not all will work). The link also included the user’s manual (very bottom of link).
Good luck
