Project on which nail is more resistant to rust

I'm doing a project on which nail is more resistant to rust. Copper Iron or steel. I have gone to my library and they have no books about my topic. I need information to show that I did research and did not only really on my experiment. Please help me.

But did you do the experiment first, Brian? If so, what result did you get? There is nothing wrong with researching after you have copmpleted your experiment, but if you do the research first, the temptation to gerrymander the experiment to get the "right" or politically correct result will be overwhelming. This is called junk science and it would be a terrible thing to teach to a student of your tender years.
