RESULTS

The aim of this experiment was to determine the most effective method of removing permanent marker. Using background research, a hypothesis that nail polish remover would be the most effective was created. To test this hypothesis, five solutions: water, olive oil, nail polish remover, whitening toothpaste and vinegar, were used to scrub 15 squares of permanent marker. The result of this experiment was that nail polish remover was the most effective method of the five solutions, which was followed by toothpaste, vinegar, olive oil and water.

climate graph and materials and methods


























Above are my climate graphs.


Materials of my SRP

45ml vinegar
45ml water
45ml olive oil
45ml nail polish remover
45ml whitening toothpaste
30 by 30 cm piece of wood
2 x 10 by 10cm tiles
30 by 20 cm piece of plastic
1 sponge
1 permanent maker

Method

  • Draw 15 x 4 by 1 cm rectangles with the permanent maker on the piece of wood and wait 1 day for them to dry.
  • Draw 15 x 4 by 1 cm rectangles with the permanent maker on the tile and wait 1 day for them to dry.
  • Draw 15 x 4 by 1 cm rectangles with the permanent maker on the piece of plastic and wait 1 day for them to dry.
  • Place 5ml of the vinegar into the a small dish.
  • Soak sponge in the vinegar until all liquid has been soaked up.
  • Scrub at one of the rectangles with the sponge for 15 seconds.
  • Measure approximately how much of the rectangle has been removed.
  • Repeat with the vinegar on 2 other rectangles.
  • Repeat with the other liquids on 3 rectangles each.
  • Repeat this process with the tile and the piece of plastic.
  • Collect results and summarize.

FINAL CONFIRMED IDEA

OK, after about a month of deciding what I want to do, I have finally decided!!!

Alright, out of:
  • the effectiveness of disinfectants
  • how much chocolate/red cordial/coke affect behaviour and energy levels
  • the best cleaning product
  • can coke really rot your teeth
  • which is the best substitute for rope?
  • something to do with plants

i have finally decided on NUMBER 5: WHICH IS THE BEST SUBSTITUTE FOR ROPE? OK, maybe it's a little weird but i want to know, what the next-best-thing-to-rope is for climbing rocks or abseiling down rocks, because i like to climb, but when I run out of rope, it's kind of a bad thing.

i'll try to make it as fair as possible. You know, I test out everything at about the same time, so I can make sure I weigh the same testing every material.

So there we go. I'll try sticky tape, a vine, a bunch of elastic bands, HAIR ELASTICS and skipping ropes. This is going to be fun!

alright, alright.
i have decided that for my SRP, i'm either going to:
  1. do a fear project (test people's blood pressure and height rate during a scary movie)
  2. find out the effect of urine/vinegar/salt water/tap water/orange juice on plants (hmm...)

I don't know right now.

Hello World

The beginning of SRP. OK, so I've started my blog. Unfortunately, I don't have a clue what I'm actually going to do for my SRP. Hmm.... criminal psychology crossed my mind before... but then again where am I going to find a criminal to do my testing on? And to make it a fair test, I'm going to need a couple of criminals to test. Problems already... not good. Well, give me some time, and I promise you that I will come up with a good topic. Eventually.
