This project tests whether paint color affects how long paint takes to dry. Different colors of acrylic paint were applied in equal amounts and timed as they dried under the same conditions. The results showed that lighter colors dried faster than darker colors, helping explain how paint color can affect drying time.
This was a very good project that showed clear testing and careful work. The question was easy to understand, the steps were well organized, and the results were explained in a simple way. The student collected data, made a graph, and showed that lighter colors dried faster than darker ones.
