I am doing a science project and am kind of falling behind on it because I 
don't know where to begin!! I think I have a good idea but I don't know so 
im asking for your help me a little. How do I get the rubber bands to the 
specific temperatures and what temperatures do you think are best? I was 
thinking about soaking the band in a bowel of water for 5 minuts one at 
room temp, freezing, and boiling. Then after letting them sit in there for 
a while I would use a weight to force it down and see the affect. Does 
that sound right? PLEASE HELP ME!!!! Thank you very much :o)
