The WOW Museum Field Trip & Making Ice Cream

My homeschool group went on a field trip to the WOW Children's Museum to learn about the Science of Ice Cream.

But first we played in the museum. Our friends Aaron and Eli came with us.

Go Eli, Go!

Now to ice cream making. We listened to a presentation about the science of ice cream and learned that it takes solid, liquid, and gas (air) to make ice cream. Then we got to mix the ingredients.

After mixing the ingredients we put it in these buckets with ice and salt on the bottom, taped them up and then had to shake it for 15 minutes so it could turn into ice cream.

Here the kids are rolling the bucket back and forth and then shaking it in between rolls.

Enjoying the ice cream that they worked hard for. It was yummy!

Then we played a little longer.

The boys had fun dressing up in costumes.

Such cuties
