Having your ice cream and eating it too

Aian and Marcky made Vanilla Ice Cream based on these recipe. The experiment demonstrated the ability of ice when mixed with salt to absorb the heat from the mixture (of milk, cream, milk and vanilla flavor) faster and thus turn it into ice cream! (Dated: November 7, 2008)

For good "measure"

Getting the mixture right.

Let me call this education beyond Eureka

I thought I could stick closely to the structure of the lesson on Scientific Method, control, variables, etc. with this activity (pdf)on fuselage, wing size and flight of the O-wing glider.

But education should be fun right? So they played and enjoyed it they did. I'd like to think they also learned a thing or two about making a hypothesis.
