It was AMAZING!!!

Today, we completed the Icy-Hot Lab.  We heated ice in two beakers (T1 = temperature recorded for smaller mass of ice; T2 = temperature recorded for larger mass of ice) on hot plates until the water boiled to investigate the change in temperature.  Below is the data collected for 12C.
