7th grade
 Purpose:
My purpose for doing this experiment is to see if nail polish really
does slow down the growth of nails.
Procedures
1.Get the nail polish
2.Apply nail polish to one
hand
3.Have the other hand
without nail polish on it
4.Measure each nail every
day
 Hypothesis

If you put a certain type of nail polish on

your nails then it will slow down the
growth of your nails because of the
chemicals in the nail polish.
