QUESTION
Whats the Fastest Way to Cool a Soda?

ABSTRACT

HYPOTHESIS

If I put the soda in the ice bath device, then

the soda will cool the fastest, because its the
coldest from all the other devices.

MATERIALS
1.12 soda cans
2. Digital thermometer
3. 2 StyroFoam coolers
4. Ice Cubes
5. Water
6. Timer
7. Plastic Wrap

PROCEDURES

VARIABLES
Independent variable- brand of the soda
Dependent variable- the temperature of the

soda
Control - the soda at room temperature
Constants:
Time in device
Brand of soda
Size of can of soda
Room temperature
Altitude

C0NCLUSION
In conclusion, my project led me to know that

the best cooling device was the ice and water

bath, the temperature was the lowest in in the
least amount of time. My hypothesis was not
supported because the ice bath was the 2 nd
fastest cooling device but not the fastest. The ice
and water was the fastest.
