We have been learning about the states of matter - solid, liquid and gas, and how these can be changed.
We watched a short DVD which showed an experiment, making ice-cream within about 10 minutes and decided that we'd like to give it a try.
For those of you at home who would like to give this a go, here's our method:
Take one small sealable plastic bag (Glad bags seem to be the strongest).
Inside place:
1/2 cup milk
1 Tablespoon of sugar
1/4 teaspoon of vanilla essence
Seal the bag.
Inside a larger sealable plastic bag place some ice and 3/4 cup of salt. Put the small bag with the milk mixture inside the larger bag with the ice and salt and SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE......
Measuring the milk, sugar and vanilla essence
Into a separate bag goes the ice and salt
SHAKE, SHAKE, SHAKE, SHAKE, SHAKE...
... and shake some more!
It worked!!! We now have SOLID ice-cream.
Time to sample the finished product - Mmmmmmmmmmm. Delicious.
Room 4 students - your challenge is to change this recipe in some way at home (maybe add something or leave something out and see what happens), then tell us all about it.
Kyan from Pinehill School thinks it would be a good idea to add hokey pokey.

Tyrell, if we had saved some for you we know it would have melted because it would get too warm. From Room 4
