It's a warm day, and you would like to take your kids out on a picnic. How about converting a homeschool science experiment into an ice cream making session? Amaze your kids by showing them that with their help, you can make ice cream for them, and that too at their favorite picnic spot.
You will need to do some preparations the previous night or an hour before you set off for the picnic. Boil a mixture of one cup of milk with half a cup of sugar and a pinch of salt in a boiling water bath. Add three beaten egg yolks to the mixture and stir till you get a thick custard-like mixture that coats the spoon. Cool it and add vanilla essence and about two cups of heavy whipping cream and stir. Pour the mixture in 3 to 4 small zip-lock bags, each enough to make one serving. It is preferable to secure this bag with another zip-lock bag. Now put the zip-lock bags with the mixture in an ice chest full of ice. You can now put the ice chest in your car as you travel to you r favorite picnic spot. It is very essential that the ice does not melt on the way for your home school science experiment to be a success.
At the picnic table you can put each zip-lock bag into a larger zip-lock bag that is half filled with ice. Sprinkle some salt over the ice and seal the large bag. Do this with all the smaller bags containing the ice cream mixture. Adding a little water to the ice will help enhance the process. Have as many such bags as many kids there are. Hand over one such bag to each kid and ask the kids to squish and shake the bags. Maybe they can toss them up and catch them. The more they squish and shake the bags the faster will the mixture turn into ice cream. Let them have fun with the bags for ten minutes. You can allow another five minutes of shaking, shaking and shaking!
Then ask each kid to bring their ice cream pack to you for examining. Open each bag, and voila! Ice cream's ready! Once done, let them enjoy their frozen treat! Isn't this a fun home school science activity? How did the liquid mixture turn into ice cream? And that too, quicker than it would take in a refrigerator? The very first thing to remember is that you have divided the mixture into smaller bags and not into one container as you would do in a refrigerator. Without salt, when ice melts (at 0 degree Celsius or 32 degrees Fahrenheit), it turns into water by absorbing some heat from the atmosphere. At the same time the water gives out heat and refreezes into ice. This is called a state of equilibrium. The mixture requires a temperature less than 0 degree Celsius in order to make ice cream.
Salt breaks this equilibrium by changing the make-up of the ice and the water. Now the ice melts, but the water does not refreeze into ice since it now requires a temperature less than 0 degrees Celsius to refreeze. The ice now gets no heat to melt, and therefore draws heat from the mixture, making the ice cream mixture even colder.
Furthermore, salt (sodium chloride) splits up in the water into charged particles of sodium and chlorine. The whole mixture of ice, water and salt now becomes a special compound that freezes at a temperature of -21.1 degrees Celsius or -6 degrees Fahrenheit. Therefore the liquid ice cream mixture becomes a frozen paste. To get more great science experiments and activities visit the free "Home school Parent's Guide to Teaching Science" at the link below.
Suggest Edible Home School Science Experiment - Homemade Ice Cream TopicsQuestion by Cade: What are the top cities for SCIENCE in the USA? I am looking to move and I want to focus on a science career. I know it will be science and not pro athlete or singer or anything like that. So what are the top cities? Does anyone have any other suggestions for cities that invest a lot into their sciences? Personally.. I think I would like to work on earth sciences (NASA) maybe marine bio or medical technology like biotech. I am not all that into networking, aerospace or computer engineering. I know the southern states work with NASA but Huston and Orlando are way too hot for me. Best answer for What are the top cities for SCIENCE in the USA?:
Answer by Cubbi
Unless you're going to work for a city in some capacity (city planning?) there is no such thing as "top cities for science career", since cities have nothing to do with it. Scientists are typically mobile. It's nothing uncommon to be a postdoc in FU Berlin, then a postdoc in Stony Brook, NY, USA, then a lecturer in Würzburg and end up a professor in Queen Mary College in England (from someone's actual CV I recently looked at). When I went to the USA for my postdoc, I had to choose between CMU, Caltech, and Stony Brook, and after three years my Stony Brook lab then moved to Auburn. Look at the colleges, not at cities.
