Ice Cream Lab

I hope you enjoyed making and eating your ice cream on Friday — I keep telling you science is fun!

  • Have you figured out how heat was used? Remember that heat is the movement of thermal energy.
  • Besides the changes in temperature what other observations did you make? Do you recall taking any notes that might relate to your observations?
  • What was the purpose of the salt?
  • Can you draw a picture showing the flow of thermal energy in your experiment?
  • Were there any anomalies (unexpected results)? What might have caused them?
