Ice Cream Ice Cream, We All Scream for Ice Cream!

Take 2

A few weeks back Chloe did her science project of making ice cream in a bag in minutes. Her experiment went well at home, but in class it never set up like ice cream. We decided to give it a second shot today and try again. We wondered for a day why it would have went wrong and after thinking about it we realized this: When attempting the experiment at school we had the big bag with ice and salt in it break and had to get a new bag and transferred as much as the old ice with the salt into the new bag. Her new bag then was missing enough salt to make the ice cold enough to set up the ice cream. Through this experiment we realized that one single variable can make all the difference in the world when it comes to science and doing experiments. Needless to say the Chloe and the class were thrilled with their yummy ice cream treat this afternoon.
