Bug Spray Science Experiment Pictures

By: Riah VandeZande

High DEET SunglassesThis is a house. You probably can’t tell since the High DEET

Bug Spray made it so

blurry!

Low DEET Sunglasses This is the same house

that was shown in the

High DEET Bug Spray lens. It’s a

little bit easier to tell

what it is!

High DEET Paper

As you can see, there’s a big white spot

on it. This is partially

because it’s still wet, but

there is a waxy coating that’s a little difficult

to see.

Low DEET Paper

As you can see, there is

not much damage

except for a slight

staining in the paper.

High DEET WoodChanged

the color in the wood to

much darker and with small red dots all over. There is another waxy coat similar to

the one on the paper.

Low DEET Wood

Did not affect the

wood much.

Made a slight

darkening in the wood.

High DEET CardboardFormed a huge wax spot on

the cardboard

just like the one

that formed on the paper and wood,

but was much

whiter and more

noticeable.

Low DEET Cardboard

Made a slight sticky substance

on the cardboard

and the cardboard was a little darker than

before.

High DEET Leaf

All the off soaked

through to the

opposite side of the leaf and formed a

wet, greasy

substance.

Low DEET LeafOn the

side that it was

applied, there is a slight wet,

greasy substance which is

not as bad as the high

DEET.

High DEET Plastic

Formed a wet greasy substance inside the

plastic container and made the plastic

a bit frosted and

blurry. Also, the

substance turned white.

Low DEET Plastic

There is only a slight wet, greasy substance that is not noticeable except to the touch.

High DEET Triangular Bandage

Made small, hardened

wax spots on the triangular bandage that you could see if you looked closely. They were a white

color.

Low DEET Triangular Bandage

There is no noticeable

change except a

slight sticky feeling on

the material.
