Description

Designed for KS2 and KS3 students aged 7-14. In this hands-on science activity, students make ice cream using ice, salt, and flavoured milk while exploring concepts related to chemistry, physics, and states of matter. The activity demonstrates how salt lowers the freezing point of ice, causing the milk mixture to freeze without a freezer. Students investigate changes of state, observe how materials behave differently, and develop curiosity and observation skills through simple experiments and discussion questions.
