Challenge Question: How can we have as much fun in one hour and learn about science at the same time?
Lesson Summary: Today as the 10th graders took there PSAT the 9th grade experimented with homemade ice cream and mini-airzookas.
Homemade Ice Ceam
First we learned the properties of water and how when salt is added to ice the freezing point is lowered, making everything in an enclosed space colder. This allowed us to produce homemade vanilla ice cream by using two ziploc bags, one small and one large. The small ziploc bag was filled with all the ingredients necessary for delicious ice cream:
Mr. Keil's Family Recipe
-1 cup cream
-2 tbsp sugar
-1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
This small ziploc bag was then placed inside a bag full of ice and kosher salt. Scholars proceeded to shake these bags to the tunes of Outkast for 10 minutes until the cream became solid. Then Bon Appetit!

Mini-Airzookas
For the second half of class we learned about the science of air vortexes by constructing mini-airzookas. Mr. Keil also demoed as enormous airzooka made from a shower curtain, garbage bin, and bungee cords.
After our airzookas were finished scholars used a fog machine to visualize the vortex rings flying out.
