Do I still burn calories if I run slow?

Yeah the calories will be the same for the same distance, but faster speeds will ramp up your metabolism. Why are you worrying about calories though as letsrun will say ''just run baby run''

No. Your body burns no calories if you run slow.

Slower paces burn more fat proportionately.

For example, if "hard pace" is 6:00/mi for you and 7:30/mi is "easy" then you might burn 1000 Kcal an hour on a hard run and maybe 750 Kcal at an easy pace, you will still burn proportionately more fat at the easier pace.

You will burn more calories, and perhaps more fat overall, at the harder pace. But it is harder to keep that training going to burn more over the months.

Ah okay cool. Basically I've just been super hungry and have been eating more every day but didn't want to be overeating.

You never burn calories. A calorie is a unit of measure. You can't burn a unit of measure. You can only burn a physical thing.

You burn molecules of glucose or fatty acids. The calories just measure the energy contained within the substrate you're burning; they do not burn themselves.

Wise guy, do you analyze every single figure of speech that people speak? Have a good day! Oh no - good/bad are moral categories and do not apply to non humans objects...

You are expending energy as is obvious from your watch that is estimating your energy expenditure.

However, the training stimulus will be different.

You must be a college kid that just completed 2nd semester testing.

Am I working my body at all going at this pace? I just notice my watch says I'm burning the same amount of calories

You know obese people who claim to get fatter despite not eating? Your question is another way of stating this. The logical conclusion of your question is that humans don't need to eat ever unless​ they run at a certain pace.

Where did you learn Biochemistry?

What do you think that unit of measure is measuring?

Heat release.

You don't burn molecules of glucose or fatty acids either. The energy source is ATP hydrolysis, which is a form of combustion.

So the person you're trying to correct is more correct than you.

Watches aren't accurate at all when it comes to these things but the 6 pace run will burn more calories. However 8 pace will also burn a few hundred calories.
