I made my ice cube keeper out of foam, fabric, paper, and a cup. I predict that my keeper will protect the ice cube for 360 minutes. First, I put foam across the top of a large red cup. I covered the top of the foam with fabric scraps and string, and I taped everything. I put the ice in the cup at 10:00.
Time | Size in mm |
10:00 | 45mm |
11:00 | 35mm |
12:00 | 2mm |
1:00 | 0mm |
2:00 | 0mm |
3:00 | 0mm |
After looking, I think that my prediction is now 120 minutes. Gone!
If I were going to make another ice cube keeper, I would wish I didn’t have to open it to check on the ice cube and let the heat in. Maybe a see-through cup to protect it so I could still measure it.
