Let’s make ice cream. Pour 1 blue cup of crushed ice into the bowl. Add 4 red spoonfuls of salt to the ice. Did you know that salt lowers the freezing point of ice? Change the temperature and take a big step toward creating an irresistible ice cream. Put the lid on the bowl. Be sure to seal the bowl by covering the spout with the fat, curved part of the lid. Hold the lid in place as you shake the bowl from side to side (rather than up and down) for several minutes, until the salt completely mixes with the ice. Add the following ingredients to a plastic zip-top bag: • 1 Orange cup of half-and-half • 1 Yellow spoonful of vanilla extract • 1 Red spoonful of sugar

Seal the bag on your ice-cream ingredients. Make sure to place this bag inside another bag to lock all the contents inside. Place the bags inside the ice-filled bowl and close the lid. Shake the bowl from side to side for 5 minutes to allow the liquid inside the bags to solidify into ice cream. Remove the lid from the bowl. Check the consistency of the ice cream by sampling it with a spoon. Scoop out the ice cream into paper cups and enjoy a cold treat with your friends.

Calling all mad scientists. Follow the instructions on the included activity cards to make mystery goo, puffy paint, slime, and more. Chunky and colorful, the included spoons, cups, bowl, and scale are specially designed to clearly demonstrate the concepts of quantity and measurement, so kids are learning as they mix and measure the ingredients for their wild concoctions.
