Homemade Ice Cream!




In class recently, we have made homemade ice cream. A lot of people said that their ice cream tasted salty, but my partner Caroline and I had completely sweet ice cream. We decided to make chocolate ice cream.


It included:


  • milk

  • sugar

  • vanilla extract

  • chocolate syrup

  • ice (to cool)

  • salt (also to cool)

We mixed all of the ingredients together and mixed it all together. At first the ice cream was a liquid. We put a bag full of the mixture into a larger bag and filled it with ice and salt to freeze the ice cream. Salt makes the ice colder, and that allowed us to complete the lab in a shorter amount of time. When the ice cream froze more, it turned more into a solid form, but still half liquid because we didn't wait long enough for it to freeze more. The science in this experiment is to show that the colder the temperature, the more solid the substance.
