 * THE STUDY OF HOW FAST WAX WILL HARDEN WHEN MIXED WITH DIFFERENT ITEMS **

Ceren I. 2012-12

The purpose of this study was to determine which liquids and dry ingredients made melted wax harden faster, Paraffin wax refers/is a white or colorless, soft solid, which is used as a lubricant and for other purposes. Melted wax was poured into a beaker of dry ingredients or liquids then timed on how long the wax took to harden. For the most part, the liquids made the wax harden the fastest, specifically the sparkling water. The wax mixed easier with the liquids than the dry ingredients because the dry ingredients are solids, so because the liquids mixed better with the wax, it was able to cool the wax faster.
 * ABSTRACT**

In my experiments this year I think I should have actually taken a spoon or something else a mixed the wax with the items really good instead of just pouring the wax into a beaker that contained the other items. I also think it would have been good if I came up with more experiments to complete. In a future experiment, it would be interesting to see and find out whether there is anything that would make melted wax harden almost instantly.
