After adding the ice, they noticed the soup became watery and did not taste very good. They wanted to figure out a way to quickly cool the soup but not water it down. They had two separate ideas. The older brother wanted to place the entire bowl into the freezer and let it sit for 2 minutes. The younger brother wanted to divide the soup into two smaller bowls and then place both of them in the freezer for 2 minutes. Describe how you could use science ideas and tools to decide which brother has the better method of cooling their soup. As you explain your answer, talk about energy and explain how it moved. You can include a diagram, but it must be explained with words.​

Answer: This is your opinion and is probably graded for you stating your opinion.

Explanation:

If you use the older brothers method, your soup would not cool down as fast in 2 minutes, because it's a lot of soup in one bowl, just like how a cup of water would freeze faster than a whole lake. If you want your soup to completely cool down in 2 minutes, use the younger brothers method.

Hope this helped.
