The picture was taken of the winners of the 'Great Ice Cube Contest'. It was the 2nd part of the contest. Students worked in groups of 3 with the scientific method and thermal energy (which the 1st part was how quickly they could make the ice cube melt not using any kind of 'artificial heat'.) The 2nd part was seeing how long they could go without the ice cube melting. Groups brought in items no bigger than a half size computer paper cubed to make 'ice cube keepers. These 4 groups had more than half their ice cube left 22 hours 55minutes later.
