 * TESTING THE WATERPROOF ABILITY OF HOUSEHOLD SUBSTANCES **


 * Madi P 2012 - 2013**

These experiments were done to test the waterproof ability of household substances. The sunscreen substance contains Benzoophenones, Oxybenzone, Dioxybenzone, and Avobenzone. The substances were applied to a sheet of plexiglass and sprayed with water, using a light probe to test how waterproof the substance was. Sharpie pen proved to be the most waterproof.

Follow up experiments include testing how much light shines through nail polish when sprayed with vinegar, olive oil, or Windex. Place the nail polish on a sheet of plexiglass and let it dry for two minutes. Measure how much light shines through. Spray it with either vinigar, olive oil, or Windex. Measure how much light comes through.
