Week 14
What did I learn this week?
My group looked into why ice melts faster on meta rather than wood. In this process, we looked into three simulations to help us understand the science behind this phenomenon. In the first simulation, we learned that bonds begin to break when they reach a certain shaking speed. Next, we learned that for the heat point to change, one hot bond must make a connection to a cool bond. We then took a look at the microscopic view wood has many holes, which makes it more difficult for points of connection, while metal is tightly compacted and almost smooth, making the connection points easier to find.
Question: If you were to break the wood/metal piece, would the ice melting speed change?
How was this clear/confusing?
We found the actual process of making the flip video process and discovering the reasoning behind ice melting faster on metal than wood, very simple. One question this left us is why the most expensive/24-hour hold water for so long if they are made of metal. We learned that it is because they are double-lined, which sucks all the air out, making the particle have little room to shake.
What are our remaining questions?: If you were to break the wood/metal piece, would the ice melting speed change?
Here is our video!

ReplyDeleteHi Hanna!
ReplyDeleteIt was interesting to hear about why ice melts faster on metal than on wood because we experimented with that before but we hadn't yet learned about why this is. I also think you have a very good question about the topic and one that would be very interesting to figure out.
Hi Hanna! I thought that making the flip video was also pretty clear and thought it was also very interesting why water bottles were made up of metal when metal is one of the objects that causes ice to melt the fastest. Very nice work!
