The big question they aimed to answer was: “Does cooled milkshake make ice cream?” Using a hands-on approach, the children poured their milkshake into a small bag, added ice and a HEAVY sprinkle of salt into a larger bag, and set to work mixing it all together. After 5 minutes of enthusiastic shaking, the results were in! While we didn’t quite achieve the creamy ice cream we were hoping for, we did end up with a deliciously refreshing slushie! Our budding scientists turned this into a valuable learning experience. We took the time to discuss what might have gone awry and brainstormed ways to improve our method for next time. It’s all part of the learning journey!
