Cardboard helps insulate ice by reducing heat transfer from the environment. To set up an experiment, you can wrap one ice cube in cardboard and another in bubble wrap, then place them in separate containers at room temperature. Measure the melting rates of the two ice cubes over time to determine which material is more effective at reducing melting.
