The Fastest way to Cool Soda.
=Broad Question= What's the fastest way to cool a can of soda?

=Specific Question= What is a faster way to cool soda: Ice, Freezer, Refrigerator?

Independent Variable:
Time it takes to cool the cans of soda.

Dependent Variable:
Temperature of soda every 5 minutes.

Variables That Need To Be Controlled:
Cooling Materials Cans of soda

Hypothesis
I believe that the freezer with cool the soda faster than the Fridge, Ice, or Snow.

Experimental Design
Set cans of soda in cooling places. Every 5 minutes check the temperature. Record Data.

=**Materials list**= Thermometer, 8 oz Cups, Soda, Snow, Ice, Fridge, Freezer, Clock =**Detailed Procedure**=
 * 1) Collect materials
 * 2) Set Materials in cooling locations.
 * 3) Check the Temperature of Sodas every 5 minutes.
 * 4) Record the temperature.
 * 5) Take the materials and take the final temperature.
 * 6) Record the final temperature.
 * 7) Repeat steps 2-6.
 * 8) Put data into a graph for Science Fair.
 * 9) Conclude experiment, and put material away.

Background Research
There is no absolute zero. This can be very helpful because the freezing of the soda would mess with the experiment, that will be unacceptable. The lone soda could freeze because it will be alone from other sodas. If it does not take a short time to cool the soda, then i will be set. Also i can speed up the experiment if need be, if it takes too long.
