Ice Cube Project

Hello, my name is Keira Traverse. You may have read my first story, Chemistry In Science, I talked about my class’ science class, but today I will be talking about our project. In science class we were making projects. The project was supposed to make a prototype that will keep an ice cube cold for the day. We were given a sheet to fill out that would help us find what we need and what to do. We had to look for materials with low thermal conductivity. That means it will not transfer heat well. The items needed to be good insulators. The most common materials used were Aluminum foil, Styrofoam, and insulation. These items are some of the best things to use. This project was like a contest because, there would be a first, second, and third place winner. We were given the morning to make these projects and in the afternoon we would open them and see who had the biggest ice cube. The team with the biggest ice cube would win. My team used a shoe box, aluminum foil, and styrofoam. At science class we opened them to see if we had an ice cube. We had an ice cube but it was really small. There were people who had ice cubes, but most of them were not that big. There were a few people who had big ice cubes so theirs were weighed to see who won. In third place was Halo and Lucy. The second place winner was Bailey and Jasleen. And the winners for first place were Alannah, Deanna and Isabella. They were the people with the biggest ice cubes. Thank you for reading my story. - Keira Traverse
