This week, we were able to do our own (tasty) experiments testing the chemical reaction that occurs when you mix ice-cream and soda!
We created our own hypothesis (which soda creates the most bubbles? does adding the ice-cream or soda first create more bubbles?) then tested our ideas. Finally, we were able to drink our delicious chemistry experiments!
To make an ice-cream float at home, you will need:
-ice-cream or sorbet (we used vanilla)
-soda (we picked either cola, root beer, orange soda, or cream soda)
-a cup, a straw, and a spoon
Take 1 scoop of ice-cream and put it into your cup. Carefully pour the soda on top. Pour slowly, as it will bubble and expand quickly! Then, you can sip or eat with a spoon.
