Need help with my variables...

Post by deleted-177904 »

I don't understand what my variables are. What I did for my project was surround 1/2 cup of ice in a 4 containers with 3 different type of insulation and one left un-insulated too see which would take the longest to melt completely. cotton, water, and shredded paper were the insulation.

What would the Variables be?

Thanks in advance,
Chris
