Instant Ice Cream - Properties and changes of materials

Ice cream is basically droplets of fat from milk suspended in millions of tiny crystals of ice, fluffed up with tiny pockets of air.

This activity shows you how to make the right mixture, then make it cold enough to create those ice crystals without the aid of a freezer. It also reveals how salt and ice make a chilling combination.

What’s the science?

Pure water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius. Add salt and the freezing point drops by a few degrees. When you add salt to the ice in the outer bag, the ice (at 0°C) is now above its freezing point – so it begins to melt. Melting requires energy, and in this case that energy comes from the flavoured milk mixture in the inner bag. Ice crystals start to grow in-between the tiny globules of fat in the milk and bubbles of air, causing the milk to freeze and change state from a liquid to a solid.

Believe it or not, you can make ice cream without a freezer.

Think and talk about…

What do you see happening to the ingredients?
What do you think the salt is doing?
How could you find out more?
How does the finished product compare with shop-bought ice cream?

Investigate…

Can you make the ice cream freeze faster?
Try altering the amount of salt or how much you shake the mixture.
Try different ingredients – do they behave in the same way?
