Mitchell and I did a project called "Frozen Water". It is about the race between hot and cold water.
Mitchell and I chose this topic because we think that people would be very surprised that the hot water takes longer to freeze faster than the cold water.
Our purpose of the project was to see which water freezes the fastest and how long it took.
Our hypothesis was that we predict that the hot water would freeze faster than the cold water.
The materials we used were a thermometer, two cups, water, a watch, and a freezer.
1. First we pour the hot and cold water in the 2 cups.
2. Then we put the cups in the in the freezer.
3. Time the water on which freezes the fastest.
4. Then when your done write up the data you got on the water.
The hot water took at least two hours to freeze and the cold water took three hour to freeze.
Our hypothesis was correct the hot water did freeze faster than the cold water. We think this happened because the hot water was losing water because the moisture from the water evaporated and made the hot water to freeze faster.
This project helps the world by helping ice freeze faster or food freeze faster like jello for example.
Me and my partner think that setting up the backboard was the easiest part and waiting for the water to freeze was the hardest part because it took way to long.
I think me and my partner did not do very well on this project. We think we should have froze both waters twice just incase th results changed
