Results: The rate at which the ice cubes melted was changed significantly when a different colored cloth was used.

Conclusion: In conclusion, my hypothesis that ice melting rates would change with different colors was correct. The ability for darker colors to absorb more heat from sunlight than lighter colors mostly helped form my hypothesis. Freezing common faucet water then using colored cloths to change the rate of melting for each ice cube was in all, a successful experiment.

Application: The results of this experiment can be used for a variety of things. Many companies that depend on and store ice can use darker shaded materials to keep the Ice frozen for much longer.

Recommendations/Revisions: If I had the time/materials, I would of liked to expand the data/test results be using many other different colors for the ice.
