Having fun with ice!

On Thursday June 2 2009 my brother and I had a some fun while experimenting with ice cubes. My brother showed me that ice melts faster on aluminum than just a counter. We did some experiments of melting ice on different things. We tried one ice cube on a sheet of aluminum, one on a green painted sheet of aluminum, one on tinfoil, and one on the plain counter. Each ice cube was timed while it was melting. Here were the results of our tests:

Melting Ice Test Results

Aluminum: 9:29 mins.

Green painted aluminum: 9:16 mins.

Tinfoil: 17:02 mins.

Counter: 19:14 mins.
