Primary Activity
Chemistry - Easy ice cream
from Wow! But, why?
Anything involving food, especially food that children can actually eat after the activity, is always going to be exciting! This activity allows children to make edible ice cream in the space of 10-20 minutes using some easy-to-find ingredients and equipment.
Children could investigate the differences between liquids with different fat content, including non-dairy products like almond milk, comparing how easily they become ice cream and how tasty the finished product is.
