Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

HELP ME!!!!!! So, I want to do this science project about a jewelry spray. its like spray paint but has contained a solution that covers cheap jewelry that tarnishes. how do I do this? where do I even start? Any ideas will be helpful.

Well I'm not an expert but I think you need to give more info on your experiment.

Is the spray a cleaning spray?
What jewellery are you going to use?
What question will you ask in your project? (Which cleaning spray is best? Should you clean your jewellery with cleaning spray? Which is the best method of cleaning your jewellery and why?)

Then you regroup.

okay, so... the spray is not for cleaning but putting a new layer in the jewelry which is mostly made up of cheap metals. so what are some things I can use to actually make the spray
?

Hi Aamna,

A great way to start you project is to define a research question and hypothesis. Once you have completed this it will be easier to decide on the type of jewelry spray you want for your experiment. Details on how to work through your research question and hypothesis can be found here:
