Today, we made ice cream six (6) different ways.   Mrs. Hoggatt’s classroom was a ‘little’ loud today.

Trial 1 - Two (2) paint cans, one inside the other, ice and rock salt
Trial 2 - Two (2) paint cans, one inside the other, ice and NO rock salt
Trial 3 - One paint can, ice and rock salt
Trial 4 - One paint can, ice and NO rock salt
Trial 5 - Ziploc, with ice and rock salt
Trial 6 - Ziploc, with ice and NO rock salt

After 15 minutes, we checked on the ice cream and recorded the temperature of the ice slurries.

​Trial 1:  -13 F
Trial 2:  0 F
Trial 3:  -7 F
Trial 4:   0 F
Trial 5:  -9 F
Trial 6:  2 F

Ultimately, only two (2) made soft serve ice cream and the rest got ice crystals.
