Experimentation
Step 1: in each plastic bag, put 1 ice cube
Step 2: leave one plastic bag with the ice in it on the table and do nothing to perform method 1
Step 3: dip the other plastic bag in a bowl of hot water to perform method 2
Step 4: compare which method makes the ice melt faster
Data Analysis
Step 1: Lets do method 1. Put 1 ice cube inside the ziplock bag (I used a plastic bag because we don't have a ziplock bag).
When I did method 1 it took 32 minutes and 30 seconds.
After 32 minutes and 30 seconds the ice already melted
After 32 minutes and 30 seconds the ice already melted
When I did method 2 it took 2 minutes and 18 seconds.
Conclusion and Variables
In conclusion, putting ice in a bowl of hot water melts the ice faster because when heat is applied to the ice it comes back to water or it melts. Therefore, method 2 is faster than method 1.
Dependent Variable
The dependent variable in this experiment is the ice cube because it is the only one thats being observed and is the only one that changed.
