Today we checked out the melting property of crayons!
To start, we took the paper off of two boxes of crayons (48 all together…*wipes brow* lol) then placed them in our tin pan (three layers of foil with sides turned up). We baked them in the oven at 425 for 5 minutes,then sat and watched the crayons transform! It was pretty cool. Observation: Jordan noticed the crayons get shiny as they began to melt. Also, the colors begain to run into each other, creating a cool swirl effect! Once done, we let the crayons cool in the freezer for about 10 minutes (very carefully, so you aren’t cleaning up wax off the frozen broccoli for a week). After the sheet hardened, again, we observed the difference in the crayons…..from a solid to a liquid and back to a solid again. Just for fun (although this whole process was fun….besides taking the paper off of 48 crayons )we wanted to see how the crayons would color now that they have these cool swirls in them. Lots of rainbow doodling going down today! Care to try?
