The experiment involving the determination of the number of ice cubes required to keep the temperature of the glass under 15 degrees Celcius, the following things have to be kept in mid:
The<u> temperature</u>of the surroundings
The initial temperature of the<u>glass</u>
The <u>number of ice cubes </u>added to the water in the glass
In order to keep into consideration the changing environmental temperatures (which is a variable in the experiment), the experiment had to be conducted daily to get <u><em>accurate results </em></u>keeping into consideration all the factors.
