Cedar Creek Science Club Adventures

Science Club members our current project is called the BIG FREEZE. Click here to check it out. Your job this time to build a device that will keep a ice cube in solid form the LONGEST. THIS PROJECT IS DUE THURSDAY, DEC 4TH. Please bring your completed projects to Mrs. Milutinovic’s class during HR.

If you were absent One important new piece of scientific knowledge we learned is the word INSULATOR. An insulator is basically a material that acts as a barrier or wall for heat to cross. If you were absent or just need some extra scientific info check out the LINK below. Mrs. Milutinovic and I can’t wait to see your “COOL” contraptions (cool..hehe get it..)

Remember the RULES for the BIG FREEZE CHALLENGE ARE as follows:

1. Containers must be smaller than 25 centimeters on any side.
2. Containers must be created specifically for this event. It cannot be a container made to keep objects cool or hot! Ice coolers, styrofoam cups, etc. are not allowed in their original form.
3. Containers must be able to hold any water from the melting ice cube. Leaky containers will be disqualified.
4. No electrical motors or similar devices allowed.
5. Containers must be easy to load and check.
6. No part of the container can be frozen prior to the event. This includes water, other ice cubes, dry ice, or other chemical substance.
