Post experiment draft 6

The ice replacement was not as consistent throughout the experiment as we would have liked, and we believe this could have had an effect on the results. Due to the fluctuations in ice replacement and amount of ice added, the consistency of the temperature in the chambers was partially sacrificed. We were able to obtain a temperature reading from three of the four days of the experiment and consequently have an average temperature for the condition. But due to the methods of temperature reading acquisition and instrument used, we do not consider the values to be absolute. This takes away from the result of our experiment and for any future experiments of similar vein. To correct it, we would need to ensure a more consistent ice refresh schedule and implementation of better instruments to constantly observes the temperature as compared to periodically.
