New idea!!!!

Ok. In my previous post, I mentioned that I would do an experiment on how fast water soaks into different types of paper. Thinking about it now, it would be hard to measure the rate at which the water is getting soaked up.

Which is why I have brainstormed another idea! I am positive that this experiment will provide accurate results and is easier to measure and make a definite conclusion.

I'm going to base my experiment on the rate at which an iron nail rusts in different liquids. These liquids will most likely be water, salt water, oil, vinegar and methylated spirits. Actually, 'which liquid rusts an iron nail fastest'. I currently do no know how long this experiment will take...along with the repeats for a fair test.

But I will post more updates soon as I gather my ideas...
