Procedure: Scientific Explanation Conclusion
1. Use the ruler and black marker
to draw a square on the pizza-
box lid, leaving a 1-inch border.
2. With the cutter cut through three Our conclusion is that

4. Cut two square pieces of clear
plastic wrap, each 1 square inch
larger than the flap opening.
Open the pizza-box and tape one
piece of plastic to the underside
