Rusty Nails

The science fair project is finally finished. WOOHOO!! The variables were salt water, regular tap water, orange juice, vinegar and Coca-Cola. And the big winner is.....
Awe shucks, I can't tell you. That would take the fun out of it. Get yourself some uncoated nails and give it a whirl. Here are some pictures of the project. You'll be able to pick the winner from the pictures.
I have truly learned a lot about rust in the last few weeks. I pray that Peyton has too. I thought it would be a good easy starter project for him but there was a lot of chemistry involved that I didn't think about. I ended up having to teach him about the periodic table and some other things that he probably won't learn for a couple years.
