Make Me Melt Lab: Problem: Your Group Must Make The Ice Cube Melt As Quickly As Possible Without

The students were tasked with melting an ice cube as quickly as possible without outside heat sources, only using their bodies. They hypothesized how long it would take and brainstormed methods, such as rubbing the ice cube against skin or enclosing it in folded hands. After experimenting, they found that enclosing the ice cube worked best by trapping body heat, while methods with less contact melted the ice cube slower.
