Spoons demo: The Ice cube melted faster in the metal spoon because the heat of the spoon was transferring to the cube. Black vs Mylar; Mylar isn't black, and reflect heat, where as the black roof radiates the heat. ]]> 2018-02-08 15:35:32 UTC https://padlet.com/healmich/rgt7g6i9qg5q/wish/229625082 step 4: select the solution healmich https://padlet.com/healmich/rgt7g6i9qg5q/wish/229625168 we decided to use mylar in our project becuse it reflects heat off of the house]]> 2018-02-08 15:35:41 UTC https://padlet.com/healmich/rgt7g6i9qg5q/wish/229625168 Step 5: construct a prototype healmich https://padlet.com/healmich/rgt7g6i9qg5q/wish/229626279 2018-02-08 15:37:10 UTC https://padlet.com/healmich/rgt7g6i9qg5q/wish/229626279 step 6: test the prototype healmich https://padlet.com/healmich/rgt7g6i9qg5q/wish/229626470 our prototype helped the icecube alot, however 45.6% of our icecube was gone. our floor was a conducter, but we didnt have that much insulation.]]> 2018-02-08 15:37:27 UTC https://padlet.com/healmich/rgt7g6i9qg5q/wish/229626470 step 7: improve/modify design healmich https://padlet.com/healmich/rgt7g6i9qg5q/wish/229626775 Our solution could be a door for the ice cube, because we had a small flap, that didn't help much and the heat could still flow through.]]> 2018-02-08 15:37:49 UTC https://padlet.com/healmich/rgt7g6i9qg5q/wish/229626775 step 8: Present and redesign if needed healmich https://padlet.com/healmich/rgt7g6i9qg5q/wish/229626821 even though our icecube melted 50.7%, our insulation was good on the top. we should have changed our floor to an insulator, becuase i think thats what our root of the problem was.]]> 2018-02-08 15:37:53 UTC https://padlet.com/healmich/rgt7g6i9qg5q/wish/229626821
