ICE CREAM ~ THE SCIENCE WAY

 

Welcome to Spectrum of Science Foundation’s Summer Science Experiments. Ice Cream ~ The Science Way will allow you to work with the Scientific Method to create ice cream in a baggie. Follow the Scientific Method to create, discover and EAT your very own ice cream. No mess, no fuss! Send us photos and your results. We would love to know what type of cream taste best, creates the creamiest ice cream and what does not work. Be sure to test, experiment and report.

VOCABULARY WORDS

Scientific Method: Is a process for experimentation that is used to answer questions and explore observations. Scientists use an experiment to search for cause and effect relationships in nature. In other words, they design an experiment so that changes to one item cause something else to vary in a predictable way. These changing quantities are called variables. Variables are a key element of the scientific method.
Energy: The ability to due work
Freezing Point: For any given liquid, the temperature at which the liquid changes state from a liquid to a solid.

 

SAFETY TIPS: Salt will be on the outside of the baggie, be sure to wash the baggie before you eat the ice cream and rinse your hands.
