Second Grade Investigates Matter- and it's Delicious!

Second grade has been studying matter and how it changes states.  Our second grade scientists were inquirers when they investigated how cooling effects matter by making ice cream from scratch.  Students worked cooperatively to make their mix, add it to a bag of ice with rock salt, and shake it up.  They started to notice the mixture changing after a few minutes.  What a delicious way to understand the changing states of matter!
