I am interested in different ways to recycle and reduce waste, so I decided to learn more about recycling crayons. I saw that there are lots of ideas and recipes for recycling crayons and was curious about how the melting temperature affects the recycled crayon. I tested melting crayons at a high and low temperature and found that melting them at a lower temperature seemed to help make better recycled crayons.
I like that you tested two different temperatures and compared them. It is a great idea to test more temperatures like you mentioned in your discussion! Also really good thought about the different brands- that is some good scientific thinking!
