How do we stop the snowman melting?

Science experiment number 2 - how can we stop the snowman from melting?
We wanted to find out how we could stop the snowmen (frozen water bottles) from melting using different materials. One bottle was wrapped in foil, the other was wrapped in cotton wool and the final bottle was left unwrapped.
We made predictions, thinking about which material would help to stop the ice from melting. Then, we left the bottles in the classroom and then tested the results after lunch.
We found that the water bottle which was wrapped in cotton wool stopped the snowman from melting the best.
