As always, I partnered with my best friend. Vlad. That afternn we went straight t the library. After an intense discussin, we agreed n the basic idea f having the ice cube inside a bx, which wuld be put inside anther bigger bx. Between the tw bxes wuld be the heat insulatr (绝缘体).
The first test f the icebx was extremely disappinting. Since this was ur first experiment, we bth wanted gd results t build ur cnfidence. Befre I went t bed that night, I carefully picked ut a huge blck f ice frm ur refrigeratr and placed it inside the icebx. When I wke up the next mrning and lked int the icebx, there wasn’t even a bit f ice left. Reflecting n this failure, we were determined t find a better insulating material.
