2. Gather all the necessary materials in order to conduct this experiment such as boiled water, distilled water, calcium chloride, distilled water, glycerin, test tubes, nails, test tube rack, graduated cylinders, tongs, scoopula, erasable marker and parafilm.
3. With the erasable marker, label the ten test tubes from 1 to 10.
4. For Test Tube 1, drop an iron nail in it without adding anything else. Place the test tube into the to-be-heated rack (50⁰F) located on the side bench and proceed to the next step.
5. For Test Tube 2, drop an iron nail in it without adding anything else. Place the test tube into the to-be-cooled rack located on the side bench and proceed to the next step.
6. For Test Tube 3, drop an iron nail into it without placing any sort of liquid or chemicals. When completed, cover it with parafilm and set aside.

For Test Tube 4, find a fingernail-sized chunk of calcium chloride and place it into the tube, along with the iron nail. When completed, cover it with parafilm and set aside.
8. Using a graduated cylinder, measure 5 mL of glycerin and pour it into Test Tube 5. Add the iron nail. When completed, cover it with parafilm and set aside. Label this graduated cylinder ‘A’ and keep it for future use.
9. Using a different graduated cylinder, measure 5 mL of boiled water and pour it into Test Tube 6. Add the iron nail. When completed, cover it with parafilm and set aside. Label this graduated cylinder ‘B’ and keep it for future use.
10. With the last graduated cylinder, measure 5 mL of distilled water and pour into Test Tube 7. Add the iron nail. When completed, cover it with parafilm and set aside. Label this graduated cylinder ‘C’ and keep it for future
use.
11. For Test Tube 8, find another fingernail-sized chunk of calcium chloride and drop it into the tube. Using graduated cylinder ‘A’, measure 5 mL of glycerin and pour it into the test tube. Finally, add the nail and when completed cover it over with parafilm and set aside.
12. For Test Tube 9, measure 2.5 mL of both boiled and distilled water. Boiled water should be measured with graduated cylinder ‘B’ whilst distilled water with graduated cylinder ‘C’. Dump both liquids into the test tube along with the iron nail. When completed, cover it with parafilm and set aside.
13. For Test Tube 10, the last tube, find a fingernail-sized chunk of calcium chloride and drop it into the tube. Using graduated cylinder ‘C’, measure 5 mL of distilled water
and pour it into the test tube. Finally, add the nail, and when completed, cover it with parafilm and set aside.
14. Allow the test tubes to sit for a couple of days. Observe again when time has passed.
15. When finished preparing the test tubes, wash hands and clean up the work area.
