Background Research

Question- Are Sharpie's really permanent markers?

Main idea- To determine if Sharpie is removable, on varying surfaces, using various solutions.

Principle- Chemical Reaction: if the solution erases Sharpie from the surface; what chemical make-up in combination with which surface had a reaction with the Sharpie.

Charts/Graphs- I will be using a table: in the first column I will write the names of the different surfaces. On the top row, will be the names of the different solutions used. Then I will fill in the rest of the rows and columns with the results of whether the sharpie disappeared or remained.
