Maker Camp: Ice Cream or Slushies!

Update: If you use the tiny cups to make ice cream, you’ll have a tiny sample.  Kiddos love anything cute.

My kiddos at Camp have made Homemade Ice Cream.  (In Chemistry the ice cream lab is one way to introduce colligative properties such as freezing point depression. )  I hadn’t realized you could freeze other liquids by shaking them in a bag or coffee can.  Evidently, you can use Freeze Pops, Nondairy Creamer, Fruit Juice, and Kool-aid pouches.  We’re going to try all of these at Maker Camp.  I’m especially interested in the nondairy creamer.  Who knew?  I added screenshots below because the first site was flagged and the second screenshot is AI generated.  When we make ice cream in a bag, we use about 1/2 cup of rock salt.  The instructions look to be correct.  Like you, I am suspicious of AI.
