Making Ice-Cream

In team 12 with our Friday teacher Mrs Demchy we made ice cream.  Mrs D did a brain storm on the white board to show us what we had to do.  We had to do a TV ad with a catchy jingle, design the lid, think about what we were going to put into the ice cream and a few more thing.  My ice cream group name was Splat and the company name was Millions.  Some of the extras my group put into the ice cream were skittles, food colouring and chocolate.  The hardest part was making the ice cream and especially trying to make the cream into a light yellow colour  and not turning it into butter.  When I had a big mouth .  On the Monday we took the ice cream out of the freezer and tasted our creation. it tasted sickening.  I would love to make ice cream again but I would just make vanilla.  

Thursday Experiments

One of our experiments Rm 12 did on Thursday with Mrs Demchy was trying to blow up a balloon using CO2 gas made by baking soda and vinegar.  First of all we got a balloon and a bottle with a small neck so we could put the neck of the balloon around it.  We filled the balloon with baking soda and had the vinegar in the bottle.   Next we went outside and put it together.  It only blew up a little bit but then Mrs Demchy tipped the vinegar into the balloon and it expanded to a full sized balloon.  Most people got to touch it and see how firm or soft it was.  We weren't aloud to squeeze it to much just in case it popped.  We went inside and talked about it.  This experiment was one of 3 successful experiments.
