After 1 Day
 Result

• Rock was same as before.

• Vinegar that had steel wool, changed its
color to purple, and many bubbles came
up.
• Kind of Failed
 Conclusion

• Vinegar reacted to the steel wool, but to

the rock it didn’t react.
• Through this experiment, I learned that
rock is a hard material.
• Even though vinegar has a lot of
ingredients, it is a little hard to do
something to the rock.
