Cool Chemical Science

In Science this term, we are investigating how things change when we heat and cool them and the different states of matter. We have been using our critical thinking to make predictions and have been learning to follow a procedure to complete simple experiments. Our favourite one so far has been making homemade ice cream!

First, you put 1 cup of milk, 1 tablespoon of sugar and a splash of vanilla essence (which smells really yummy) into a small zip lock bag and close it tight. Next, put the little zip lock bag into a big zip lock bag. Add some crushed ice and 6 tablespoons of table salt to the big bag and seal it up.
Shake the bag for a few minutes. The salt and ice react to make the temperature really cold, making the milk mixture go solid! Lastly, put your tasty treat in a bowl or cup and add some sprinkles. Delicious!
