Ice Cream in a Bag!, by Miss Horvath
Date: 8th Feb 2019 @ 2:39pm
Year 4 have really enjoyed their science topic this half-term on States of Matter. To finish, we spent this morning making ice cream in a bag!
We combined milk, vanilla and sugar in a bag and placed that bag into another bag which contained a LOT of ice and salt!
The salt lowers the ice's melting point and the ice begins to melt. As you create friction from shaking the bags, the milk begins to freeze and become a solid = ICE CREAM!
We enjoyed making the ice cream but we LOVED tasting it afterwards!
