Oh ho ho, and please do share your experiment highlights with us @IETeducation! #SantaLovesSTEM
Watch the IET video and download the free IET worksheet from our site to join in the fun this Christmas! A quick and easy science experiment to test which material will insulate an ice cube best! Santa always likes to take a delicious, packed lunch on Christmas Eve so he doesn’t get too hungry on the way. The only problem is that often his lunch becomes too warm, and he can’t eat it. Can you help solve the problem? For this experiment you will only need a few simple items and some ice cubes, so experiment at home or school and learn the festive magic of science.
