Did the solid Ice Cream Formation Change Based on Type of Salt Use? Purpose The purpose of the lab was to identify how the different types of salt applied to ice effect the amount of solid ice cream formed. Background Research Ice cream is a solution with a lower freezing point than H2O therefor regular ice cannot lower the temperature enough for solid product to form (Science Matters). Lowering the temperature farther is the job of salt. NaCl (salt) will dissolve in water (or ice in this case) to

I tied the balloon to my the wind came up and blew the rest of the balloons from my hand. Just then a car pulled
