We all scream for Ice Cream!

Mrs. Yuska's 8th grade Science class is currently studying chemical and physical changes to matter. Today they experimented with endothermic and exothermic physical changes. The students combined milk, sugar, and vanilla in a container. They then placed the container in a bag containing a combination of ice and salt. The endothermic reaction of the ice and salt caused the exothermic reaction - freezing - of the milk mixture. We were able to reach temperatures as low as -10 degrees C! Not only did the students learn about real life physical changes but they also enjoyed a tasty treat!
