assuming the same temperature metal is better at distributing energy so metal.
Metal. The metal sheet will conduct heat from the rest of the environment to the ice, while a plastic sheet will insulate the ice and prevent heat from flowing into it.
dark color melt it faster
Ice melts faster by a blow dryer
Cube ice with a hole in the middle will melt faster. The hole increases the surface area and will allow more of the ice to melt at the same time.

ice will melt faster wrapped in aluminum foil and plastic wrap when you put it outside
yes it will
it melts faster in the plastic cup
no, it dosen't
it is a greater conducter of heat than styrofoam
It doesn't just melt faster because of the metal box. The only reason it would melt faster is because metal conducts heat, and it's possible it could become hotter inside the box.
The heat conductivity of a container will influence the rate at which its contents lose or retain heat. Aluminum being a metal is a good heat conductor (better than glass or plastic at least) and would allow ice cubes stored in it to absorb heat more readily than the other two.
it melts faster on a metal surface.Ice absorbs heat from metal faster than it absorbs it from wood. Wood is an insulator. It slows down the transfer of heat to the ice. Metal is a conductor. It absorbs heat readily, and passes it on quickly.
Salt makes Ice Melt Faster
No, an ice cube doesn't melt faster in soil.
Ice cream will melt faster than yogurt, as yogurt does not melt.
