Introduction to Scientific Inquiry: Slushy Time!
by Isabelle Harrison
Using rock salt, ice, juice, and thermometers, students will use their inquiry framework to investigate how slushies are made and see if they are able to replicate the results of a traditional slushy. Students will need access to a variety of materials, cups, and liquids to test out how energy (heat) transfers between objects and evaluate scientific data on different materials.
