    Science Fair: Kaitlyn Heaton

    Kaitlyn Heaton conducted a science fair experiment to determine which cup, Styrofoam or paper, better insulates cold drinks by keeping ice cubes frozen the longest. She placed individual ice cubes in pairs of Styrofoam and paper cups, covered them, and timed how long it took each ice cube to melt over multiple trials. Based on the time differences, she aimed to conclude whether Styrofoam or paper cups are better at insulating cold drinks.

    Which cup is better at insulating cold


    drinks?
    I think the Styrofoam cup will keep the ice
    cube frozen the longest.
    Materials)
    10 ice cubes of equal size
    10 paper cups (same type)
    10 Styrofoam cups (same type)
    2 Timers
    Procedures)
    Set a paper and a Styrofoam cup 2
    in. apart
    Put an ice cube in each cup
    Place a second paper cup on top of
    the other paper cup(repeat with
    Styrofoam)
    Time for how long it takes for both
    ice cubes to melt(one timer for each
    cup)

    Subtract both times and see how


    much longer one cup kept the ice
    than the other cup
    Repeat 4more times
