Ice cream is basically droplets of fat from milk suspended in millions of tiny crystals of ice, fluffed up with tiny pockets of air.
This activity from the Science Museum shows you how to make the right mixture then make it cold enough to create those ice crystals without the aid of a freezer – and reveals how salt and ice make a chilling combination. A great activity for exploring changes of state and the properties of matter.
Learning outcomes:
- Investigate the properties of different states of matter and how they look and behave differently
- Use observation and questioning skills
- Recognise how different states of matter behave have useful applications in our everyday lives
