ICE CREAM IN A BAG



Student Activity - June 2002

Welcome to almost summer!

This is a great math, language arts activity which results in a treat!

Ice Cream In a Bag

Ingredients for each bag:

ice
Rock salt OR Extra ICE
1/2 tsp. Vanilla
1/3 cup and 2 tbsp. of sugar
1 pint of heavy whipping cream or half and half
OPTIONAL - To flavor the vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup or orange soda (Creamsicle effect) may be added. Add only enough flavorings to color the ice cream.
Quart zip lock bags
Paper towels

Directions:

Fill the gallon bag with rock salt and ice.
Fill the quart bag with all of the food ingredients.
Insert the quart bag into the gallon bag.
Make sure that both bags are closed.
Knead the bags until the ice cream gets semi-solid. (It never gets really frozen like commercial ice cream.)

Wipe the inside bag carefully with paper towels before allowing children to open.

Enjoy!
