This is the crayon being made. We used a hot glue gun to melt the crayon.
This is the crayon finished and out of the aluminum foil mold.
This is the crayon cut in half so you can see most of the layers melted down.
This is the crayon and some of the colors it can do.
Using crayons and a hot glue gun, I created a new crayon because I wanted to see if you could melt a crayon in a hot glue gun.
During this process, I learned that crayons can be used in hot glue guns to melt it down.
The 7 standards of the class are Empowered Learner, Digital Citizen, Knowledge Constructor, Innovative Designer, Computational Thinker, Creative Communicator, and Global Collaborator. My project ties to creative communicator because I used tools around the room to create a piece of work that could express me and my partners creativity.
A challenge I overcame on this project was getting the crayon out of the hot glue gun. I was able to do it by shoving a toothpick to add pressure on the crayon to the warm part of the hot glue gun.
Given a chance to do this again, I would change how big the mold is. The reason why I would change it is because using a big mold took to much time.
