Science

First, research what rust/rusting is. Then, take 4 identical metal objects (like a nail) cover one with oil, one with Vaseline, one with paint and leave one as plain. Put the nails in a pot of water. Predict what you think will happen to each nail after 1 week. Every day for 1 week (or longer) check the rust on each nail and make notes on its appearance. Which nail will rust the most?
