Chemistry Students Have One SWEET Lesson
Today, students in Mr. Crawford’s Chemistry classes learned the science behind ice cream—literally! They explored phase changes, discovering how adding rock salt to ice lowers the freezing point of water by interfering with the intermolecular forces in water, causing an endothermic reaction and helping them make delicious homemade ice cream. Who knew chemistry could be so sweet?
