Problem Statement

Which type of marker dries out the fastest?

Hypothesis

I think the IKEA markers are going to dry out the fastest because they write the lightest.

Materials

2 charts for daily recordings

1 black IKEA, Scholastic and Crayola SuperTip markers

1 green IKEA, Scholastic and Crayola SuperTip markers

Procedures

1. Get your two charts and use one chart per color.
2. Get the black marker and make one line with the Scholastic maker and leave uncovered.
3. Repeat step 2 with the Crayola SuperTip marker and then with the IKEA marker.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 with the green markers.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 every day for five days leaving the markers uncovered.

Control

Color of markers

Paper used to record colors

Variable

Brand of the markers

Results

After completing my experiment, I noticed that the Crayola SuperTip markers dried the fastest.  The Scholastic markers were the ones that stayed moist with ink the longest.

Conclusion

My hypothesis was incorrect because the Crayola SuperTip markers dried up the fastest.

Application

This experiment is useful to understand which markers will dry the fastest.  Knowing this will help prolong Art school supplies by purchasing markers that last longer.

Abstract

The purpose of this project is to find out which marker dries out the fastest.  I compared three different types of markers; Crayola SuperTip, IKEA, and Scholastic.  Results showed that Crayola SuperTip dried out the fastest.
