Investigating the Cooling of Parafin Wax and Stearic Acid Over Time
This experimented aimed to produce four cooling curves, two for paraffin wax and two for stearic
acid, one using a digital thermometer and one using an analogue thermometer for each substance.
Cooling curves can then be used to calculate the melting point of the substance and the cooling rates
throughout the cooling process. The results for this experiment can be seen below.

The digital thermometer measured 0.8°C in ice water and 96.4°C in boiling water.
