The Effect of Different Material Skewers on Time Taken to Melt a Marshmallow The topics researched were different information on what marshmallows are made out of, what the different type of skewers that were mostly used, and the temperature of fire. The people who can benefit from the results may be skewer companies or for anyone who wants to roast marshmallows. The results don’t only have to do with marshmallows, but also has to do with heat conduction. So anyone can use the results. The purpose of this experiment was to find which material skewer melted a marshmallow fastest. What was hypothesized was that if marshmallows are melted on a stick, wood, aluminum, and metal skewer, then the aluminum skewer will melt the marshmallow fastest. The hypothesis was supported because it took at average of 1:12 minuets to melt the marshmallow. To test each skewer, what was done was a marshmallow would be placed each type of skewer. Then, the marshmallow was held over an open flame for no particular time, just until the marshmallow reached the desired temperature of 150˚F. The averages/means were: ∞	Wood                   2:05 minuets ∞ ∞	Metal                   2:26 minuets ∞ ∞	Aluminum                  1:12 minuets ∞ ∞	Stick                   2:14 minuets ∞ That means that if someone wanted to melt their marshmallow really fast, as in fewer than two minutes, then using an aluminum skewer is the right skewer to use.
