Cleaning Coins
Science fair
Purpose Statement
The purpose of this experiment was to see which liquid cleans coins the best. I became interested in this experiment because we get a lot of dirty coins when we get change. The information gained from this experiment will help others learn more about clean coins and how to make them look rich
Research
There are a lot of websites that say salt and vinigar would be the best to clean coins. Some say gasoline, so I will be the best so I will see which one would be the best.
Coins are made of copper and nickel so the best way to clean is with the salt. The vinegar will give a boost in the cleaning process and the efficiency.
Hypothesis
My hypothesis is salt and vinegar together will clean coins the best. I base my hypothesis on the research I have searched.
