In this science fair project, I aimed to determine which ice cream brand melts the fastest: Blue Bunny, Private Selection, Dreyers, or Kroger Deluxe. My hypothesis suggested that Kroger Deluxe, being the cheapest, would melt faster. Using bowls, a stopwatch, and a camera, I recorded the melting process over 16 minutes in a room at 68°F. Surprisingly, the results showed that Blue Bunny melted the least, followed by Private Selection and Dreyers, with Kroger Deluxe melting the most. This experiment was fun and provided insights on ice cream quality.

Science Fair PowerPoint Bio Period 4
Big Question? • My big question is to see which ice cream will melt faster. I wanted to do this science fair because it seemed really fun and to know which ones work the best. • Will it be Blue Bunny, Private Selection, Dreyers, and Kroger Deluxe.
Hypothesis • My hypothesis is that I think that Kroger Deluxe will melt faster than Private Selection, Blue Bunny, and Dreyers. I think this because if its cheaper than others it has to be worse maybe not by the taste but by how long it takes to melt.
Interesting Facts • Vanilla is the most popular brand of ice cream • The first ice cream parlor in this country opened in New York City in 1776. • major ingredients in ice cream is air. • adults consume nearly one-half of all such treats. • July is National Ice Cream Month.
Materials • Blue Bunny Ice Cream • Kroger Deluxe Ice Cream • Dreyers Ice Cream • Private Selection Ice Cream • Ice Cream Scoop • 4 Bowls • Stopwatch • Pencil • Note Cards • Camera
My Step By Step Process • Get materials • Put ice cream in different bowls • Start stopwatch for two minutes • Write Details and take pictures • Add two more minutes to the timer and do the same as step 4, do that two times • After two minutes we change it to five minutes • We do this two times • Total time takes 16 minutes and the room was 68°F • Finally we measure how much melted and write results
Observation • All ice cream melted. • Room temperature affected it same with light • I found out Kroger was barley melting. • I had a fun time watching it.
Data With being the most liquid: • Blue Bunny 1st • Private Selection 2nd • Dreyers 3rd • Kroger Deluxe 4th
AnalysisofData • Blue had 2 1/2 Tablespoons • Private selection had 2 Tablespoons • Dryers had 2 Tablespoons • Kroger had 1 ½ Tablespoons
Conclusion • Unfortunately my hypothesis was wrong Blue Bunny came in 1st and not Kroger. Well now I now know which ice cream to get and it is cheaper =).
