I think Tacky wax is going to hold the puck in place at the highest angle and that Zippy’s wax is going to be the one that lets the puck slide at the lowest angle.

I know a lot about hockey wax and tape based on how I use it. We have been learning about friction in class. The hockey wax is supposed to increase the friction between the stick and the puck to help keep the puck on the stick (help the player “dangle”).

• Exact amount of wax applied (different types might spread a bit differently)
• Pucks might accumulate wax
• Apparatus (plywood, tape, etc.)
• Puck weight

1. Build the apparatus to test the wax
   1. Find a plywood sheet wide enough to set 6 pucks across a line
   2. Set up the plywood against a solid surface
   3. Set up the ratchet straps to pull the top of the plywood up
   4. Position the protractor so I can record the angle
2. Apply tape to the test surface
3. Record the weight of each wax before applying
4. Apply 5 swipes of each type of wax to the designated test area leaving one area with no wax for the control
5. Record the weight of each wax after applying
6. Weigh the pucks to make sure they are all the same weight
7. Number the pucks so each test uses the same puck on the same wax
8. Set one puck on each test location
9. Start raising the edge of the apparatus. Raise it until the first puck slides down
10. Record what degree each puck starts to slide at
11. Repeat the experiment (steps 2-8) 5 times 
12. Analyze the results

Howie’s Tacky Wax was the stickiest and therefore is the best to “dangle” the puck. My hypothesis was correct, the Tacky Wax held the puck at the highest angle and the Zippy’s waxes both allowed the puck to slide at the lowest angle. It was interesting to notice that both Zippy’s wax flavours were close to the same result. But, the results for the different Mr. Zogg’s flavours were quite different.

The results of my experiment can help a hockey player to figure out which type of wax will help them to dangle the puck on their stick the best (hold the puck on the tape).

• Wax might have built up a bit on the pucks
• The wax might have worn off the tape during the tests
• The plywood might not be perfectly flat
• Different amount of wax may have been applied in 5 swipes

i would like to thank Mr. Johnson and Beck for helping me on this presentation and on my trifold and my parents for helping me with the actual project testing.
