Making ice cream

For our science rotation we made ice cream. 

Ingredients

Half a cup of cream

Half a cup of milk

Half a tsp vanilla essence

1 Tbsp sugar

2 cups of ice

1/2 cup of salt

We mixed the ingredients into a small bag, then placed the 

small bag into a bigger bag filled with ice and salt. Then we shook it up!! 

The salt causes the ice to melt, but it also makes it colder! Really cold! 

We all had turns at shaking it for a few minutes, then came the fun part : eating it!! 

Some of it was a bit salty as we realised we should rinse off the 

opening of the small bag first, otherwise it tastes salty!

We also talked about the changes in matter, from a liquid to a solid and what the cause and effect was of that. Room 12 loves science!
