When you think of ice cream, your favorite flavor probably comes to mind. Chocolate, vanilla, strawberry–or maybe you like rocky road or mint chocolate chip. One of the last things you might think of is science. The campers at Maker’s Space got to find out the science behind the delicious dessert and make some ice cream of their own. In a bowl, the girls mixed creamer, sugar, and vanilla extract. The girls poured the mixture into one side of the ice cream maker ball. In the other side of the ball, the girls added ice and rock salt. The girls took turns shaking, rolling and tossing the ball. The girls learned that adding salt to the ice causes the ice’s freezing point to be lowered. This is similar to adding salt on roads in the winter. Lowering the ice’s freezing point allows the mixture to freeze into ice cream. The science project wouldn’t be complete without a taste test. The verdict: 2 thumbs up from campers.
