How to make ice cream

This week I mad ice cream with my class. We were able to try the yummy ice cream and some of us got sprinkles. For this task we had to create detailed instructions so that someone else could make the ice cream. Here are my instructions below:

Ingredients
  • ½ cup cream
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ cup salt
  • 4 cups ice cubes
Equipment
  • Measuring cups 
  • Measuring spoons 
  • 1 x medium sized snap lock
  • 1 x large sized snap lock bag
  • Tea towel
Instructions
  1. Get your ingredients and your equipment altogether.
  2. Open the medium plastic bag 
  3. Put ½ cup of cream, 1 tablespoon of sugar and ¼ teaspoon vanilla into the medium plastic bag. 
  4. Seal the medium side plastic bag tight so none of the ingredients fall out.  
  5. Then you get the other bag 
  6. Open the large bag and put in the 4 cups of ice and ½ cup of salt. 
  7. Then you put the little bag in the big bag and make sure to seal the big bag tight. 
  8. And then shake the bags for 10 minutes with a tea towel underneath so that your hands don’t freeze. 
  9. And then you get to eat the ice cream, yum!

Scientific Method

WALT: safely conduct an experiment and explain the process and results using the scientific method.
This week we are going to conduct a science experiment using the scientific method to write up the results.  Use the class brainstorm from the jam board if you need extra help.

Question

What are you trying to find out?
Will it dissolve in water?
Hypothesis

What do you think will happen?
Salt – yes

Pepper – no

Sugar – yes

Oil – no

Oats – no

Sprinkles – no
Materials

What will you need to do the experiment?
You will need:

  • Six cups
  • A pen or pencil
  • Sprinkles
  • Oats
  • Sugar
  • Pepper
  • Water
  • Salt
  • Measuring cups
  • Paper
Procedure

What steps will you take to do the experiment?
  1. First you need to have six cups and label each of the cups what you will be putting in them. 
  2. Add a teaspoon of one of the ingredients into the labelled cup. 
  3. Do step 2 for each of the cups adding oil, salt, sprinkles, pepper, sugar and oats to each of the cups. 
  4. Add ¼ cup of water to each of the cups 
  5. Using the spoon stir the ingredients 
  6. Watch and see if they dissolve. 
Results 

What happened during the experiment?
Ingredient Dissolved Did not dissolve 
Oil ✔
Sugar ✔
Pepper ✔
Salt ✔
Sprinkles ✔
Oats  ✔
Conclusion 

What did you find out? Was your prediction correct?
Yes my prediction was correct, the salt and sugar dissolved in the water just like I thought. The sprinkles, oil, oats and pepper did not dissolve just like I thought. One thing that I found interesting was the sprinkles. They did not completely dissolve. The colour of the sprinkles changed to white but they stayed solid at the bottom of the cup.
