**Which Shape of Ice Melts the Fastest?**
The hypothesis stated that the spoon shape would melt the fastest. We poured water into different molds. We then put the molds with water in it into the freezer to let it freeze completely. After the water froze completely, we took it out of the freezer and waited for it to melt. We had to keep checking back on it to see the exact time it melted at. Then we recorded our data. The results to our experiment was that the circle shape melted the fastest because it had the least amount of density. The second shape was the spoon shape and then the egg shape. The shape that melted the slowest was the regular ice cube shape.

If someone else were to do this project, I would recommend that they do this project on the weekend and make sure they don't have to go anywhere that day and have a lot of time on their hands. You can't be busy because you have to be able to keep on checking to see when each one melts. If someone were to carry on to the next level, they would have to remember to stay in the same units and to remember that the one that will melt the fastest has the least amount of density.

If I would have to do a project again, and //which shape of ice melts the fastest// is on it//,// then I would do a different project to try something new, but I thought this was a fun project and if I had to do it again, I would have fun!
