Abstract What metal melts the fastest? This is a very important question but unfortunately, not many investigators have investigated this problem. Imagine walking outside, and the temperature is 30?C, then walking into an office building and noticing that it is even hotter inside. One would question why this is. The first guess would be that the building is hot because the material of the building absorbs heat quickly. This science fair project is to determine which of these four commonly used metals for constructing buildings and cars heat or melt the fastest: Galvanized steel, aluminum, stainless steel and copper.
