Science fair project, I could use a hand =)?

Question

Ben ( my partner) and I, just done a science fair experiment for our SF ( Science Fair ) project.

The aim was: Does the flavour of the ice – block matter on how fast or slow the block melts on certain surfaces. Does a normal ice – block melt faster/slower then a flavoured one?

and ofcorse we have some results...

1. we had 3 flavours. Mango, Passion fruit and Banana...mmmm =)

2. we noticed that mango took 3minutes roughly to melt in water while the other 2 flavous took 10!

3. On a table, banana took 39minutes, while the other 2 took 50!

4. On a person's hand, passion fruit - 10min, banana - 7 and mango took 14minutes to melt

5. I cannot quite remember how much the normal ice - block took but it took 3 hours to melt on a table and just less then an hour to melt on a person's hand and in water.

This was all under same conditions

So my question to you is... Why do you think these changes with flavours occured? Has it something to do with whats in them?

cheers =)

Answer 1

Flavour is made of particles and has a unique Brownian motion.

Apply to Novel Prize.

Maybe you can get.

Answer 2

Is one of them more salty than another?  Salt contains sodium, which interacts with water, causing ice to melt - which is why we salt the roads in the winter.
