Today, we learned that the bubbles and foam that result from mixing soda & ice cream together is due to the carbonation (bubbles) in the pop and thickening agents (gum) in the ice cream!
We decided to investigate what kind of liquid gives the most dramatic results when mixed with ice cream: Orange Crush, Coke, Diet Coke, carbonated water, tap water, or orange juice. We observed the most dramatic result with Diet Coke!
