 * I would like to do my STEM FAIR project on the topic How to rust nails?**


 * Hypothesis:**
 * I think there are multiple and faster ways to make a nail rust.**


 * Journal 1:**
 * When you put any type of nail in water it will rust in a certain period of time, Open a window so the nail will get fresh air, Pour equal amounts of vinegar.**

 * Journal 2:**
 * Scrub the nails surface with sand paper or a steel wool pad, Which will remove rust-proof layer on nails. Keep the nail in the water for about an hour if not an hour and a half. Then when the time is up remove it from the water and put the nails on a paper towel. Put the paper towel in the direct sunlight for one or two hours. The heat from the sun accelerates rust formation on the nails. Repeat soaking in the vinegar and dry them to get the nails to rust faster.**

 * a reddish- or yellowish-brown flaky coating of iron oxide that is formed on iron or steel by oxidation, especially in the presence of moisture **

 * Data Table**


 * Day 1- Put the nail in the cup of bleach and poke a whole in the cap so it can be in fresh air**
 * Day 2- The iron nail got darker and looked a lot more different than the first day were the nail was perfectly fine**
 * Day 3-**
