Crayon Melting Science

Crayons can be used for more than just coloring! Create a fun Valentine’s card while learning how different pigments, which give crayons their color, react differently to heat. Crayons with darker pigments, or colors, will melt faster than crayons with lighter pigments because they can absorb more infrared heat, but does this mean they will melt as fast with a hair dryer? Test a variety of colors to see which melt fastest or slowest with some crayon melting science to design your own Valentine’s Day card.
