 * Keeping Ice Frozen**

 ** Problem **: What material, bubble wrap or tin foil, will keep ice frozen the longest?
 * Research:** Tin foil is an insulator it is used to keep foor cold or warm. Bubble wrap is a thin plastic used for protecting fragile items.


 * Hypothesis:** If I wrap one ice cube in tin foli and one ice cubr in bubble wrap then the ice cube in the tin foil will not melt as fast.


 * Materials**: 2 ice cubes, bubble wrap ,t in foil, timer


 * Procedure:**

1.) Using a scale weigh the ice cube. 2.) Wrap an ice cube in tin foil and set on tray. 3.) Wrap another ice cube in bubble wrap and set on tray. 4.)  Wait 30 minutes. 5.) After 30 minutes, unwrap each package. 6.) Weigh the ice cube again. 7.) Write the observations in the chart.


 * Results:**
 * = Material = || = Observations = ||

= Tin Foil = || Start: 12.5 g Finish: 9.5 g Tin foil absorbed the cool from the ice which is what kept the ice cold and frozen. ||

= Bubble Wrap = || Start: 12.5 g Finish 8 g The bubble wrap was thin and the cool easily went through it. This caused the cool to leave the ice cube and heat to enter the ice cube. ||


 * Conclusion:** My hypothesis was correct I stated that if I wrap one ice cube in tin foil and another in bubble wrap the one in the tin foil will last longer. I can prove this because my results show that the ice wrapped in tin foil only lost 3 grams of mass whereas the ice cube wrapped in bubble wrap lost 4.5 grams of mass.
